   An Interview With Charis Agbonlahor & Sophie Vavasseur

   In this episode, we sit down with actresses Charis Agbonlahor and Sophie Vavasseur to discuss their new film Night Driver Set against the backdrop of late-night Dublin, Night Driver follows Ngozi, a first-generation African immigrant and single mother struggling to survive while driving a taxi through a city marked by inequality, violence and isolation. When a chance encounter leaves her with a secret that could change everything, desperation drives her to make an impossible decision—one that forces two very different women to confront their own truths. Charis and Sophie talk about bringing these characters to life, the emotional challenges of the roles, the film's exploration of poverty, motherhood, privilege and morality.
