How ‘The Assembly’ Producers Convinced Michael Sheen to Participate in a Three-Hour Grilling With 30 Neurodivergent Journalists: ‘It’s an Interview Without a Safety Net’
In 'The Assembly,' which will broadcast during Autism Awareness Week in the U.K., Michael Sheen will be questioned by 35 neurodiverse journalists.
Disability-led U.K. production outfit Rockerdale Studios (“Mission: Accessible”) recently recorded a one-off special in London with Sheen, to air in the U.K. on Friday during Autism Awareness Week.
