Thanks to a collaboration between the Wexner Center, Ohio State's Department of English, and the 2019 Victorian Studies Association Conference, the Wex hosted a discussion with the great Mike Leigh on October 17. The writer-director behind such works as Secrets and Lies, Topsy Turvy, Naked, Vera Drake, and this year's Peterloo talked with Ohio State associate professor Sean O' Sullivan about his career and his approach to filmmaking.
