Michael Moore talks to Ken Loach and Paul Laverty

For filmgoers who crave political engagement, the partnership of director Ken Loach and writer Paul Laverty is a rich source. Their latest work, Route Irish grapples with the Iraq war and the trend of using privatized soldiers who are more costly to taxpayers and less accountable to law than enlisted ranks. In this Mavericks session -- moderated by documentary filmmaker Michael Moore -- Loach and Laverty have an onstage dialogue delving deeper into the film's subject matter, and reflecting on other political currents that run through their work.
