Primal Screen: Asif Kapadia on Capturing Humanity on Film with Dalglish, Winehouse, Maradonna, and Senna
Flick Ford speaks with the award-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia about his latest documentary Kenny Dalglish on Liverpool football legend-turned-manager, Sir Kenny Dalglish. The film is told through Dalglish’s own words and constructed with never before seen archival footage.
Kapadia unpacks why ““all [his] films are about the children of Thatcher” and how his experience of growing up working class in Hackney has informed how he approaches his subjects such as popstar Amy Winehouse, famed footballer Diego Maradonna, or racing car legend Ayrton Senna.
Kenny Dalglish is currently available to stream on DocPlay.
