Paul Haggis on the Writers’ Strike

I spoke with writer and director Paul Haggis in London recently about his latest film In the Valley of Elah.

I’ll put the full interview up next month nearer the UK release of that film but I also asked him a couple of questions about the current WGA strike and the online video he recently made for the Speechless Without Writers project.

Listen to his thoughts here:
