Errol Morris is the director of The Thin Blue Line and The Fog of War. His latest film is American Dharma. “I don’t make films because it makes sense to make them. Probably if I thought carefully about whether they made sense, I would stop immediately. I make them because I have a need to do it. I have a need to think about stuff.

I don’t know what I would do without filmmaking.” Thanks to Mailchimp, Pitt Writers and SAIC. @errolmorris errolmorris.com [05:37] American Dharma (2019) [11:30] The Fog of War (2003) [11:43] Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred.
