Movies Ireland | MOM & ME - Interview with Irish Director Ken Wardrop for American Documentary @moviesireland | Uploaded July 2016 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Irish film-maker Ken Wardrop talks about his new documentary MOM & ME, a follow-up the hugely successful Irish documentary His & Hers.
Oklahoma was recently voted the manliest state in the USA. Radio talk show host Joe Cristiano wants to investigate if the manliest men, in the manliest state in the Union, are willing to call in and discuss their mothers on air.
Director Ken Wardrop (His and Hers) weaves an exquisitely sympathetic portrait of what mothers mean to their sons in this charming and touching film, showing a vulnerable side of
American masculinity that viewers rarely see. These men come from all walks of life, ranging from a war veteran and a prison inmate to a cowboy preacher and a district attorney. Their mothers are just as complicated: spunky, resilient, demanding, generous, and iconoclastic. As these mothers and sons ride horses, shoot guns, and discuss their deepest feelings, Wardrop’s compassionate observation reveals the universality that underlies this most particular relationship.
