When 33 Chilean miners were trapped in a horrible mining accident, the prospects of their rescue looked bleak.

The new film THE 33 tells the story of how the world came together to make that miraculous rescue happen.

The writer of that film is our guest.

Mikko Alanne is not only a gifted screenwriter but he's a student of a wide variety of subjects and, of course, films.

What's the challenge of bringing a true story to life in the movies...?

The crew asks him about both THE 33 and then about other true stories that have made it to film.
