A Q&A with actor Robert Forster and Stephanie Zacharek, film critic for Time magazine about Haskell Wexler’s directorial debut film, Medium Cool. In this 1969 film, we are plunged into the tumultuous world of 1968 America with fictional events filmed amid real social upheaval. The story of a television cameraman and his romantic life is combined with actual documentary footage, including riots during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Shot in Wexler’s compelling style, the film is a must-see for Wexler enthusiasts, political aficionados, and counterculture fans alike.
