Director and screenwriter Sophie Deraspe's characters inspire us with their force of will and their righteous path in the face of repression. We sat down with Deraspe to talk about her celebrated heroine Antigone and her documentary, The Anima Profile. Though she doesn’t self-describe as an activist, Sophie’s catalogue of work moves us to act for fairness, challenge the status quo and break down divisions in our own community and beyond. With generosity, she shares her process, responds to her critics and gives thoughtful advice to the next generation of artists.
