"Watching people lie is very compelling," says Academy-Award winning filmmaker Steven Soderbergh when discussing his new spy thriller, Black Bag. Soderbergh joins One Decision hosts Kate McCann and resident spymaster Sir Richard Dearlove, the former head of Britain’s MI6, to talk about the film. They also discuss the reality of being a spy, why integrity and trust are key elements of espionage, and the possibility of Soderbergh directing a James Bond film. Plus, they also explore the role of intelligence in a potential future global pandemic and whether Soderbergh’s prescient film, Contagion, could soon have a sequel.
