Sundance 2022 - Carolyn Talks '892' with Film Critic Valerie Complex
Believing he has no other recourse than to take action to obtain the money he's owed, Brian Easley a veteran of the U.S. Marines walks into a bank, passes a note saying he has a bomb to the teller, and there begins a day that many will never forget, and many more never even knew of. In this episode of Carolyn Talks..., I discuss the film 892 with Valerie Complex, film critic and associate editor at Deadline.
Directed by Abi Damaris Corbin and co-written with Kwame Kwei-Armah 892, is the dramatic feature film based on this fateful day in 2017. The film premiered at the 2022 Sundance film Festival, and stars John Boyega as Easley, Nichole Beharie, Selinis Leyva and Michael K. Williams as the people bank staff and hostage negotiator who try to get through to Brain in order to prevent him from making a decision he could never come back from.
In our discussion Valerie, who her self is also a veteran of the ARMY, shares her own personal perspective on 892, experiences dealing with the Office of Veterans Affairs, and the way the system fails people once it no longer needs them.
