Description: Oscar winning documentarian Alex Gibney has a long track record of making films on hot-button topics. In these troubling times, he has some sobering and powerful words for filmmakers and journalists who may feel increasingly threatened by the Trump administration's actions: “The danger is that we huddle and hide,” says Gibney. “I used to say this about making films about Scientology, the catholic church, or indeed — US torture policy. To some extent, there is protection in being out front. It's harder to hide your detention in Guantanamo… and if there are a lot of us, it's hard to put everybody there.” Gibney joins Kim Masters to discuss his upcoming (but-yet-to-be-officially-announced) HBO project The Dark Money Game. The filmmaker also talks about his very busy slate that includes projects on college culture wars, Luigi Mangione, and Elon Musk.
