Kyle Hausmann-Stokes talks about his new film, My Dead Friend Zoe, which explores his own experience as a U.S. Army veteran and draws attention to the ways that violence and mental health issues impact friendships and families.
I first met Kyle on a humanitarian effort to help migrants several years ago and continued to admire his creative talents and how his personal values drive his work. The film, which stars Sonequa Martin-Green, Natalie Morales, Gloria Reuben, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Morgan Freeman, and Ed Harris, shows how great storytelling can help difficult conversations turn into opportunities for shared grace and understanding.
