Ru - Interview with Director Charles-Olivier Michaud and Cast at TIFF 2023

For the premiere of their beautifully shot feature film RU, director Charles-Olivier Michaud, lead cast Chloé Djandji, Chantal Thuy, Jean Bui, and award-winning author Kim Thúy, joined me to talk about the ways RU shows how forming community is an integral part of learning to see a new country as your home.
Adapted for the screen by Michaud and co-writer Jacques Davidts, #Ru is based on Kim Thúy's 2009 novel of the same name which won the 2012 Canadian Governor General’s Award for French to English Translation.

Great interview, could see the bonding and chemistry amongst the writer, the director and the cast. This video certainly deserves more views and likes.

Wonderful interview I appreciated the authenticity of this film!! In the late eighties I started teaching Adult ESL and had many brave and wonderful Vietnamese students! They all worked so hard! joanne
