Feature: Austin talks to directors of “War Game” about following the simulation of a second insurrection

In prior interviews with documentary filmmaker Jesse Moss on FilmWeek, we’ve spoken to him about what it’s like following kids simulating our branches of government— but in “War Game,” him and co-director Tony Gerber get into a much heavier look at American democracy. The documentary follows former and current public officials, as well as national security personnel, as they try to manage a military coup attempt. With army veterans as the knowledgeable opposition in this simulation, the documentary has viewers questioning what might be the best course of action in an environment that holds so many consequences. Joining us to get into the film is “War Game” co-directors Tony Gerber and Jesse Moss.
