Description

Hailed by Roger Ebert as "one of America’s strangest and most brilliant documentary filmmakers," Oscar winner Errol Morris joins us via Skype to discuss his latest film, American Dharma.

No stranger to sitting down with some of the most polarizing figures of our time, the ground-breaking director of The Fog of War and The Thin Blue Line trains his incisive lens on former Trump White House strategist and Breitbart head honcho, Stephen K. Bannon. With his indelible interview skills and special curiosity for what makes people tick, Morris probes Bannon on his background, his worldview, and his current feelings on President Trump in an edge-of-your-seat study of the state of American political discourse today. Grappling with his own contention of Bannon’s ideology and methodology, Morris proposes that even for those who disagree with Bannon, ignoring him is a dangerous course of action.
