This episode takes us behind the scenes of director Paul Greengrass's new drama, 22 July.

The film dramatizes the true story of Norway's worst terrorist attack, following the survivors

and grieving families as they rally the country for justice and healing.

In addition to 22 July, Mr. Greengrass's directorial credits include the feature films

Jason Bourne, Captain Phillips, Green Zone, The Born Ultimatum, United 93, and the Born Supremacy.

Following a recent screening of the film at the DGA Theater in Los Angeles, Mr. Greengrass spoke with

director Brian Helgeland about filming 22 July. During their conversation, Mr. Greengrass discusses

how the political landscape influenced his decision to make the film,

why he wanted the film to be seen by young people, and how his roots in documentary film affect his approach to narrative filmmaking.
