Veteran actor Denzel Washington sat down with The Grio to discuss his upcoming film Safe House. Washington plays a former FBI agent gone rogue in the new action flick opening next week (Feb. 10).

Washington, who directed and starred in the all-black cast of The Great Debaters said that “It’s almost impossible to get $100 million to make a movie about a black family in the inner city, New York.” The actor added “It’s the most difficult for African-American women to get films made.” Watch the video below.
