Alex Garland reveals how Civil War is partly autobiographical
Alex Garland’s latest film Civil War is unsettling even in its premise — maybe because of how real it feels. Set in a dystopian future America, the film follows a team of journalists who travel across the country during a rapidly escalating Second American Civil War. Alex sits down with Tom Power in studio for a conversation about what inspired the film, his feelings on journalism and media, and why Civil War is not just a warning about conflict, but the loss of a collective truth.
