Ed Harris on Frontera and the blurry borders of justice

Oscar-nominated actor Ed Harris plays a bereaved, justice-seeking Sheriff in Frontera.

Oscar-nominated actor Ed Harris joins guest host Tom Power to discuss the Michael Berry-directed film Frontera. The gritty drama centres on a Mexicant migrant (Michael Peña) who is wrongly accused of shooting a local Sheriff's wife. Harris, who plays her bereaved husband, struggles to find justice under the weight of his own grief. 

Harris shares what it was like to act opposite his real spouse, Amy Madigan; why he's attracted to smaller, independent films; and what the film has to say about illegal immigration and the vilification of undocumented migrants.
