The Hurt Locker

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Screenwriter Mark Boal and director/producer Kathryn Bigelow discuss "The Hurt Locker," a suspenseful portrait of the military’s bomb squad technicians. This heart-pounding look at the effects of combat and danger on the human psyche is based on the first-hand observations of Mark Boal, who was embedded with a special bomb unit in Iraq. "The Hurt Locker" is playing in New York at Landmark Sunshine and AMC Lincoln Square.
