Middle of Nowhere

The Leonard Lopate Show | Oct 10, 2012

Director Ava DuVernay, winner of 2012 Sundance Film Festival Award for Best Director, and Emayatzy Corinealdi, star of Middle of Nowhere, talk about making the movie. It follows Ruby, a bright medical student who sets aside her dreams and suspends her career when her husband is incarcerated. She is propelled in new directions of self-discovery—caught between two worlds and two men. “Middle of Nowhere” opens in New York October 12 at AMC Empire 25.
