“Seeing stories… from one point of view is not very rewarding ultimately. I’m just looking forward to being a continuing part of that positive change,“ he said.

The ‘12 Years a Slave’ star went further and said,

“To get emotional truth of the story, I spent a lot of time with William.”

“I came to Malawi to experience the book from the actual ground. I met his family, friends and saw the village where everything took place.”

“William, his family and people live these incredibly epic lives and that was something that I really found in the book. It’s an epic story.”
