All Of It - A podcast by WNYC

Categories:

The celebrated novel, Women Talking, by Miriam Toews, follows an isolated community of Mennonite women who must decide what to do after learning they had been suffering sexual attacks by men within the commune. Writer and director Sarah Polley joins us to discuss adapting the novel for the big screen. We are also joined by actor Jessie Buckley, who stars in the film as Mariche, a woman skeptical that leaving the community is the right thing to do.   "Women Talking" is in select theaters now, and will expand to more theaters on January 20th.
