Director Paul Greengrass is deeply troubled by the rise of far-right politics

Paul Greengrass, the prolific director of films like “Captain Phillips” and “United 93,” is not shy about calling out the dangers of rising populist politics in Europe and the United States. Greengrass joined “Salon Talks” earlier this month to discuss his new Netflix film “22 July,” which tells the story of Norway’s most horrific terror attack that left 77 dead in 2011 at the hands of right-wing extremist Anders Breivik. Watch the video above to hear Greengrass explain why he says no populist politician would technically disagree with some of Breivik’s ideologies. And check out the full interview for Greengrass’ take on former White House Chief Strategist Stephen Bannon. _____________________________________ Subscribe to SalonTV’s Channel HERE:    / salontv   For more content from SalonTV, click HERE: https://www.salon.com/tv Like Salon on Facebook HERE:   / salon   Follow Salon on Twitter HERE:   / salon   Follow Salon on Instagram HERE:   / salonofficial   Watch SalonTV daily at 12 PM ET / 9 AM PT and 4 PM ET / 1 PM PT, streaming live on YouTube. _____________________________________ About “Salon Talks” Hosted by Salon journalists, “Salon Talks” episodes offer a fresh take on the long-form interview format, and a much-needed break from the partisan political talking heads that have come to dominate the genre. “Salon Talks” is a destination for information through conversation.
