Emilio Estevez on His New Project, "The Public"

Clip: 4/5/2019 | 19m 4sVideo has Closed Captions

“The Public” centers on an uprising staged by the homeless inside the city public library

Emilio Estevez may be best known for his role in classic teen films like “The Breakfast Club”, but his new work has a more literary and socially conscious ambition: “The Public” – which he wrote, directed, and starred in – is a story of social activism and civil disobedience, set in Cincinnati, Ohio, and it centers on an uprising staged by the city’s homeless inside the public library.
