Talking to Director Bennett Miller About 'Foxcatcher': VICE Meets

About this episode

Director Bennett Miller discusses his film 'Foxcatcher' and its true story.

Director Bennett Miller spent seven years making his third feature film, Foxcatcher—a retelling of the true story of millionaire heir John du Pont's fateful relationship with a pair of Olympic wrestlers, Mark and Dave Schultz.
