Eye on Congress:The Big Story

The new movie "The Report" turns to real life to create art. The film is based on the Senate Intelligence Committee's torture report of 2014. Senate investigators took seven years to detail the CIA's use of its "enhanced interrogation techniques" on suspected terrorists. The political thriller is based on efforts led by Intelligence Committee staffer Daniel J. Jones, who joins the podcast this week along with the film's director and screenwriter Scott Z. Burns and CQ Roll Call reporter Niels Lesniewski, who covered the release of the actual Senate report. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
