Chris Morris, Four Lions

British satirist and comedian Chris Morris's film directing debut Four Lions gets laughs out of what many would believe is a dauntingly serious subject: a would-be terrorist group of Islamic militants in London. Based on extensive research of court transcripts, published surveillance recordings and actual incidents, Morris, who collaborated on the original screenplay, explains how he came up with a loony bunch who might be called (as the New York Times already has) "The Gang that Couldn t Bomb Straight". (21 minutes)
