Episode 225: In The Seats With...Katheryn Winnick and 'Flag Day'

It's no surprise that the village it takes to make a film often resembles a family...On this episode we sit down with Canada's own Katheryn Winnick to talk about her new film 'Flag Day' which hits theatres tomorrow...Jennifer Vogel’s father John was larger than life. As a child, Jennifer marveled at his magnetizing energy and ability to make life feel like a grand adventure. He taught her so much about love and joy, but he also happened to be the most notorious counterfeiter in US history. Based on a true story and directed by Sean Penn, Flag Day stars Penn and his real-life daughter Dylan Penn in an intimate family portrait about a young woman who struggles to rise above the wreckage of her past while reconciling the inescapable bond between a daughter and her father.An interesting film brought to life by the real world dynamic from the father/daughter pairing of Sean and Dylan Penn.  Sean who also directs brings a real interesting take on the fractured family inside the American landscape combining sadness and beauty to bring this true story to life.We had the unique please of sitting down with Katheryn to discuss her involvement in the film, details about working with Sean Penn, her own directorial asperations and the magic of being able to bring the story of this flawed but incredibly dynamic family to life.
