Listen to Your Art is a podcast that aims to understand the world through the prism of art. The second series is called "When Fiction meets Reality". I'm interviewing directors and screenwriters who make films or TV shows based on true events, on an episode of our Modern History or who aim to reflect in the most accurate and realistic way our society. My first interview is with Hossein Amini. He is an Iranian-born British screenwriter and film director. He was nominated for an Academy Award with the film "The Wings of the Dove". He is the pen behind the movies "Drive", "Jude", "47 Ronin" or "The Two Faces of January". I’ve talked with Hossein about his show "McMafia", which is a true representation of what the mafia looks like today. We are not in the "Godfather" anymore. In his show, we learn that organized crime organizations have dived into the globalized world and our digital age. We also spoke writing, his journey and his work as a screenwriter, and how he works when he is telling a story that must reflect the real world. My goal was to know : Does a screenwriter must become a reporter? To know the answer, listen to Hossein!
