Errol Morris on Artistic Representations of History

Imagining HistoryKurt Andersen and documentary filmmaker Errol Morris look at how writers and artists reshape history.
Errol Morris has become one of our most celebrated documentary filmmakers, covering offbeat subjects like a pet cemetery, a swamp town in Florida and Stephen Hawking’s views of physics. His investigation of a Texas murder case, The Thin Blue Line, is credited with overturning the conviction of death-row inmate. His most recent film, The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert McNamara, won the Academy Award in 2004.
