When Barkhad Abdi broke onto the scene in the brilliant Captain Phillips, alongside none other than Tom Hanks, it seemed to be a brilliant story that captured our hearts, of a young man who was a limo driver suddenly thrust into the limelight, in a huge Hollywood production. But now a few years have past, and we were keen to find out how the Somalian born actor has adapted to this new lifestyle, interviewing him via Zoom for the release of powerful drama A Girl From Mogadishu.
Be sure to watch the interview in its entirety below, as we talk about his own history in Mogadishu, and the inspiring tale that is being told in this movie – while we naturally look back over projects like Captain Phillips and what he learnt from watching Tom Hanks in action, and looking forward to what should be an exciting year ahead for this talent performer.

In a pre-Cannes Film Festival announcement, Eva Green, Kathy Bates, and Ed Skrein have been cast in the science-fiction thriller “A Patriot.”
Currently in pre-production, the project has Dan Pringle (“K-Shop”) attached to direct from an original screenplay he co-wrote with Toby Rushton. The project is being produced by Adam Merrifield (“K-Shop”) from White Lantern Film and John Giwa-Amu from Red & Black Films with Angus Finney executive producing.
The Exchange has worldwide sales rights for “A Patriot” and will be introducing the tile to buyers at the upcoming Cannes market.
“A Patriot” takes place in a future authoritarian state that has walled itself away from a world ravaged by climate chaos and resource wars. The story follows the unquestioning Border Corp Captain — played by Green — as she fights to defend the purity of the population, until a chance discovery makes her doubt the authorities she has pledged her allegiance and life to protect.
