This is fresh air. I'm David Bianculi. Benicio del Toro, an actor who has made a career out of playing complex, morally ambiguous characters,
is nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in the Paul Thomas Anderson film One Battle After Another. Del Toro plays Sergio Saint Carlos, a karate instructor and leader of an immigrant rescue operation. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Bob Ferguson, a member of a far left revolutionary group, the French Seventy five. He's burned out and has been living off the grid for sixteen years, raising his daughter Willa. Her mother, who also was a revolutionary, fled to Mexico when Willa was a baby.
Let's listen to a clip from the film. In this scene, Binicio del Toro as Sergio is in his karate studio when he gets a call warning him that the authorities are coming after the migrants hiding in the building where he lives. While on the phone he gets a knock at the door. It's Bob. He's trying to contact his daughter, who's in danger.
