Documentary filmmaking legend Errol Morris has built his extraordinary reputation on two principle foundations: what might be called dramatizations (he rejects the terms reenactments or recreations) and interviews of incredible insight and verve. He has conversed with a fascinating array of people — Robert McNamara, Donald Rumsfeld, Steve Bannon, owners of pet cemeteries, a woman accused of kidnapping and raping a Mormon missionary, to name a few.
Now, on Deadline’s Doc Talk podcast, it’s our turn to interview Morris, about his latest documentary, The Pigeon Tunnel. In the film, which is about to premiere on Apple TV+, the director trains his lens on perhaps his most elusive subject yet – the spy-turned-novelist David Cornwell, known to the world by his pen name, John le Carré.
Morris tells Doc Talk why his encounter with Cornwell made him question the very nature of documentary interviews. And he gets into whether any person who was once a Nazi can ever be considered an ex-Nazi (a conundrum that confronted Cornwell when he was posted to West Germany as a spy in the middle of the Cold War).
Morris also delves into the backlash he says he faced for violating norms of documentary by filming dramatizations, going all the way back to his classic 1988 documentary The Thin Blue Line. “I did things,” he says, “that were considered to be illegitimate in terms of documentary filmmaking.”
That’s on the latest episode of Doc Talk, a podcast hosted by Oscar winner John Ridley and Deadline’s Documentary Editor Matt Carey and produced by Deadline and Ridley’s Nō Studios. Doc Talk is presented with support from National Geographic Documentary Films.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic In 2016, John le Carré published a memoir called “The Pigeon Tunnel,” which the late spy novelist — who died in late 2020 — claims had been the working title of nearly all his books at some point. For le Carré, the term describes the passage through which naive birds of sport were forced from their nests, only to emerge as targets for marksmen waiting with rifles poised at a hotel in Monte Carlo.

Luc Bernard Can video games tell stories about the Holocaust?Can this medium encourage the audience to relate and care more? I absolutely believe so. That’s why I self-funded, directed and released the Holocaust videogame “The Light in the Darkness,” which is currently available on PS5, PS4 and PC. One of my core issues with education on the Holocaust is that those murdered are treated as numbers, not human beings.
