Morgan Spurlock

Morgan Spurlock, film director
In a HARDtalk interview shown on 14th May 2008, Stephen Sackur talks to the film director Morgan Spurlock about his hunt for Osama bin Laden.


The US film industry has found a new way to make money - documentary films made with attitude.

Michael Moore's polemical movies about the war on terror, guns and American healthcare won a global audience, so did the first film made by Morgan Spurlock.

'Supersize Me' was a one-man crusade against America's fast food culture.

Now Morgan Spurlock has made a film about Osama Bin Laden.

But this time has he bitten off more than he can chew?

HARDtalk is broadcast on BBC World News at 03:30 GMT, 08:30 GMT, 14:30 GMT, 20:30 GMT and 22:30 GMT.

Hardtalk can also be seen on BBC News at 04:30 & 23:30.
