For Karl Raudsepp Hearn, visiting Estonia for the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival wasn’t just exciting because he was premiering his latest film, The G. It was also the first time he had ever been to Estonia, ever.

The release of his film has seen its share of heart-warming and thought-provoking moments. In the latest episode of EstoCast, hear Karl talk about:

🎥 The important Estonian diaspora legacy of his family in Canada

🎥 Why some people sob and some people call out for more when they watch The G

🎥 The real-life person who inspired the main character in this film, and the actress who brought the character to life

🎥 and much more!
