DESCRIPTION

I balled my eyes out watching “Megan Leavey.” Perhaps because I am a dog lover and my eldest fur baby was dying of cancer. But it’s also because the movie is emotionally satisfying largely because of Kate Mara who stars in the title role, and director Gabriela Cowperthwaite who brought her documentary-filmmaking sensibilities (she directed “Blackfish” among others) into the project. I sat down with the director and her muse to talk about “Megan Leavey” opening nationwide June 9th.
