My ReThink Interview with Alex Gibney, the writer/director of the documentary CLIENT 9: THE RISE AND FALL OF ELIOT SPITZER. Gibney also directed ENRON: THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM, CASINO JACK AND THE UNITED STATES OF MONEY, GONZO: THE LIFE AND WORK OF DR. HUNTER S. THOMPSON, and won an Oscar for TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE.

In this video, Gibney explains why he decided to make CLIENT 9; why republicans are able to survive sex/infidelity scandals relatively unscathed; why Gibney is interested in stories about corruption and self-deception; and who Gibney would make a documentary about if he wanted to address the economic meltdown.
