ScreenFish Radio

Set in the near future, Civil War depicts America as a nation divided within between two factions. Under the influence of a dictator president (Nick Offerman) in the midst of his third term, the country has reached a boiling point. With rebel factions descending upon the White House, Lee (Kirsten Dunst) and her team of military-embedded journalists race against the clock in order to reach the Capital with the hope of chronicling the historic events that are about to unfold. In this 1on1, we participate in a special roundtable discussion with Garland to discuss the film's political ambiguity, the strength of Kirsten Dunst and the evolution of the story.
