In this interview, Daisy Ridley talks about why WE BURY THE DEAD stood out from other post-apocalyptic films—and what excited her about entering its world. Ridley explores her character Ava and why dignity matters even when society collapses, reflecting on how the film shifts the genre away from spectacle and toward grief, responsibility, and the quiet moral choices people make after catastrophe. Rather than focusing on survival alone, WE BURY THE DEAD asks what it means to honour humanity when everything else is gone.
WE BURY THE DEAD is available in theatres on January 2nd, 2026.
