John le Carré

Academy Award® winner Errol Morris pulls back the curtain on the storied life and career of David Cornwell, the former spy known to the literary world as John le Carré.

Actor Derek Jacobi narrates this portrait of author Graham Greene, a British spy, doubting Catholic and manic-depressive who wrote critically acclaimed best-sellers, including The Quiet American and The Third Man. The documentary weaves Greene’s novels and movies into the story of his life and reveals an extraordinary man who traveled the globe to escape the boredom of ordinary existence.
