Actor Elizabeth Banks has taken a step away from her usual block busters - The Hunger Games, Pitch Perfect, Charlie's Angels, to name just a few - to play the lead role in a New Zealand medical drama.
A Mistake, directed by Kiwi filmmaker Christine Jeffs and based on the novel by Wellington author Carl Shuker, sees Banks playing a talented surgeon, Beth Taylor, whose life unravels after making a fatal mistake on the operating table.
The medical thriller is set in a bureaucratic Auckland hospital and looks at the dangers of human fallibility and the need for black and white answers in a world of nuance.
Actor Elizabeth Banks, director Christine Jeffs, and author of the novel, Carl Shuker discuss the film.
