In The Sheep Detectives, now in theaters, shepherd George Hardy loves his sheep. He reads mystery books to them every day. When George is killed, his flock is ready to solve the crime. They assist Officer Derry. He’s the funny, sometimes confused, town policeman. MOLLY GORDON plays Rebecca Hampstead, the prime suspect. Gordon told TIME for Kids that viewers might be surprised at the movie’s depth. There’s a lot of humor. But the film also brings up “some things that are kind of hard to talk about,” Gordon says.
