The Neil Young film Coastal, directed by Daryl Hannah, will screen one night only, tomorrow, Thursday April 17.

In an interview with BBC, Daryl Hannah speaks extensively about her new film "Coastal", a documentary on Neil Young's solo tour along the US West Coast in the summer of 2023.

From "Daryl Hannah shows husband Neil Young's softer side in new tour film" | BBC by Mark Savage:

"He just has an absolute, uncanny commitment to his creative muse," she argues.

"He's not driven by financial interests, he's not driven by self-aggrandisement, he's not driven by anything other than that creative force, and it's pretty incredible to witness.

"Having spent so much time with him, my perception is that he's completely guileless. He has a lot of warmth and innocence, so I wanted to show that."

...

Hannah reveals her husband was harassed during the first Trump administration, as he went through the process of becoming a US citizen.

"They tried to every trick in the book to mess him up, and made him keep coming back to be re-interviewed and re-interviewed. It's ridiculous [because] he's been living in America and paying taxes here since he was in his 20s."

Despite that, she doesn't think Young will be prevented from entering the country.

"They've been detaining people who have green cards or visas – which is hideous and horrifying - but they have not, so far, been refusing to let American citizens back in the country, so I don't think that's going to happen."

Neil Young: Coastal will be shown in cinemas on 17 April.

Neil Young has endorsed Mark Carney ahead of Canada's election in an open letter published to Neil Young Archives.

“Although I have lived in the United States for most of my life, and recently became a citizen of the USA, I am a Canadian and always will be.

So now, here we are again. Canada is facing threats to its very existence, incredibly from people we thought were our friends. They want our resources, they want our land, they want our fisheries, they want our water, they want our Arctic, maybe they want our souls. I know the U.S. president could use a soul.”

...

”Mr. Carney, I believe you are the person to do it. I believe you are the person our country needs to lead us through this crazy situation and bring us out the other side as a stronger, smarter, more resilient Canada, our core values of caring and fairness and generosity intact, along with our souls.

Without a doubt, you’ve got the chops to get it done. And man, you have got the guts to take it on.  It’s a heavy lift for sure, Mr. Carney. But I, for one, am with you all the way.”

I'M WITH YOU, MR. CARNEY
