In some ways, like, I think that this is a story about violence and about how a group of men

went to war and were traumatized by the violence that they faced and how they took that back

into their community. And they tried to make it so that never happened again. So the children

wouldn't have to go through what they went through. But of course, the trauma is imbued in their lives and they're desensitized.

And actually, that's what this film is really about.

It's about the trauma being passed down from one generation to the nextctors' Cut, brought to you by the Directors Guild of America.

In this episode, the former leader of an Irish criminal enterprise returns home

and director Tom Harper's period drama, Peaky Blinders, The Immortal Man.

A sequel to the award-winning television series Peaky Blinders, the film follows Tommy Shelby

as he returns from

exile to a post-World War II Birmingham. With unsettled business and his future at stake,

he must face his demons and choose whether to confront his legacy or burn it to the ground.

In addition to Peaky Blinders, The Immortal Man, Harper's other directorial credits include the feature films Heart of Stone, the Aeronauts, Wild Rose, and the Scouting Book for Boys, the miniseries War in Peace, and episodes of the series Electric Dreams, The Sun, and Peaky Blinders.

Following a screening of the film at the DGA Theater in New York,

Harper spoke with director Mary Heron about filming Peaky Blinders, The Immortal Man.

Listen on for their spoiler-filled conversation. So it's been, how many years, 13 years, since you did the first season?

Yeah, good evening, everyone. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Yeah.

I worked on the first series 13 years ago.

And so, yeah.

Three of the most, still if you look on IMDB, most popular, most cherished episodes of the whole series.

And obviously there was something that that meshed with you and the story and with Killian, right?

But, yeah.
