Episode 66: Alex Gibney

Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney likes to take on controversial subjects. In Catching Hell, Gibney looks at what happened when a fan tried to catch a foul ball in a Cubs game in 2003. The Scientology community came after Gibney after he released his film Going Clear. And then there was the portrait of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes in The Inventor and her claims to have pioneered a revolutionary new way to test blood. Gibney’s latest doc is The Crime of the Century about the Sackler family, Purdue Pharma and the company’s role in the devastating opioid crisis. Gibney talks about calling out wrong doers and telling the truth on the next episode of “Now What?”
