Documentarian Alex Gibney Will Make His Narrative Film Debut With ‘The Action’
There are few filmmakers more inhumanly prolific than Alex Gibney. The documentarian has completed nineteen (as in 1-9) features over the last decade, not including various shorts and contributions to anthology-doc programs such as ESPN’s classic 30 For 30 series. Chances are that he will probably finish another movie by the time it takes you to reach the end of this article. With such powerful, issue-driven films as Taxi to the Dark Side (injustice in militarized Afghanistan), Going Clear (the mysterious evils of Scientology), and We Steal Secrets (the controversial Wikileaks declassifications), Gibney has earned himself a bit of Oscar gold and cemented his reputation as one of the most skilled, popular, and hard-working documentary filmmakers currently working.
