Recovering Reality: Errol Morris on Abu Ghraib

A video Q&A with the filmmaker
March 5, 2008

Errol Morris is widely considered to be one of the best American filmmakers, a reputation that is especially impressive considering that he works in the ghettoized genre of the documentary. Michael Meyer sat down with Morris in his Cambridge, Massachusetts, office to discuss photography, journalism, and the strangely overlooked fact that there is a real world out there. An extended print Q & A can be found here.

Video of the interview shot and edited by Malcolm Murray.
