Video Interview with Guerrilla’s Freida Pinto & Babou Ceesay

Guerrilla co-stars Freida Pinto and Babou Ceesay tell World Screen about the experience of working with John Ridley and about what drew them to the series, which has been launched to the global market by Endemol Shine International.

Freida Pinto has pursued an eclectic movie career since earning plaudits for her work in Danny Boyle’s Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire, starring in a mix of independents and Hollywood blockbusters, from Woody Allen’s You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger and Julian Schnabel’s Miral to Tarsem Singh’s Immortals and Twentieth Century Fox’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Guerrilla, a limited series from award-winning 12 Years a Slave screenwriter John Ridley for Showtime in the U.S. and Sky Atlantic in the U.K., marks Pinto’s first scripted TV work. The series is currently airing in both markets.

From Fifty Fathoms and ABC Signature, the six-parter, set in 1970s London, is executive produced by Idris Elba, who also stars in the project.
