The Filmmaker Who Dared to Make a Film about North Sentinel Island | Jonathan Perry | Interview 26

Season 2 | Episode 11
1h 15m | Feb 21, 2023

Award winning filmmaker Jonathan Perry talks to me about "Sentinelese", his latest project which explores the isoloated people of North Sentinel Island. In 2006, islanders killed two fishermen whose boat had drifted ashore, and in 2018 an American Christian missionary was killed after bribing local fishermen to transport him to the island. I talk to Jonathan about why he would make a film about people who have made it very clear that they don't want any contact with the outside.

We also dive deep into Jonathan's other projects, and take a look behind the scenes at how a film gets made.
