Gillian Anderson Hits the Hay
by tiffany_devol@xfilesnews.com (Tiffany Devol - Content Director)
Gillian Anderson was on hand this past Saturday for the world renowned Hay Festival taking place in Hay-on-Wye, Wales.
Gillian took part in presenting Torture Team along with Vanessa Redgrave, Ralph Fiennes, Jay Sanders, Phillippe Sands, and Damian Lewis.
Directed by Indhu Rubasingham, and presented in association with Amnesty International, Torture Team is "...an inquiry into the interrogation techniques used by the American administration and military in Guantanamo and beyond. When do lawyers who authorize abuse cross a line into criminality?"
The Hay Festival, which celebrates its 25th birthday next summer, attracts writers, musicians, filmmakers, and politicians from around the world in an effort to entertain, educate, and inspire. The festival has been called "...the Woodstock of the mind." by The Times (London).
If you missed the Hay Festival in the UK, you can still catch up with their sister festivals around the world later this summer and fall.
