The whole First Person series is really great. Other subjects included Temple Grandin (slaughterhouse savant) and Rick Rosner (a guy who gamed Who Wants to be a Millionaire?). The rest of the pilot story may be found at:

Self-discarding this video (discard called by original submitter rickegee)

I just recently started watching this serious. Errol Morris has such power to entertain and enlighten at the same time.

Nice save, a great documentary series!

Yay!!!!

Wow! Just noticed this was back. Incredible.

Thank you for the save.

what an amazing story...

so heavy.

Thrilled to see this make it to the front page. I don't think it's too evident in this episode, but Errol Morris designed a strange camera rig specifically for the interviews in this series. The subject seems to be nearly surrounded by cameras, and if I understand right, is never looking at Morris in person, but only at his image on a screen.

broseth is right, only the thing was designed to allow filming of a subject head on as in a face to face conversation.

have to come back and say i'm still thinking about this interview...

This deserves far more votes.

This is one of the most intense interviews I've ever seen. Highly recommended.

Morris the same guy who did "Fog of War" w/ Robert McNamara? Great film.

EDIT: yup, it is.

remaining parts all appear to be on YT. care to make a playlist and embed it here, rick?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I just watched all parts. What an amazing story this is! I agree, it would go nicely in a playlist - though YT has rule limiting the number of playlisted videos displayed on a remote site.

Very Good. Think I remember the crash.
I'd trade a hell of a lot of football in the nuts vids for this one (and I generally like the former).
