Episode Description

The best documentary filmmaker in America spent nearly five years of his life making a nine-hour masterpiece for Netflix.

After a nasty estate battle, the series will not be released. No one will ever see it.

 

In his first sit-down interview about this catastrophe, the filmmaker, Ezra Edelman seeks catharsis – if not closure – in the fight for truth and control over the life story of one of the biggest control freaks ever. 

 

Thanks to “Pablo Torre Finds Out” for sharing this interview with us. 

 

“Question Everything” is a production of KCRW and Placement Theory.
