He reflects back on his first meeting with Steven Spielberg about the project, and he shares some of the challenges the film faced on its path to getting made. He discusses the powerful parallels between this chapter in history and events in America today, and what he was most focused on getting right as the writer and director. He also talks about working with his incredible cast, and how his discussions with Tom Hayden informed the way he wrote about the relationship between Hayden and Abbie Hoffman, played by Eddie Redmayne and Sacha Baron Cohen respectively. And Sorkin shares what he hopes the audience might be thinking about after watching the film.
