Donald Sutherland, known for his powerful performances in films like “The Dirty Dozen” and “The Hunger Games,” passed away at 88 on June 20, 2024. In his final days, Sutherland was troubled by the thought that he hadn’t done enough to help his son, Kiefer Sutherland, through his difficult times battling addiction and legal troubles.

Despite his love for Kiefer, there was a notable distance between them, a fact both father and son have acknowledged.

Despite the difficulties, they found moments of connection and pride, mainly when they worked together on the 2015 film “Forsaken.”
