Criminal justice and prison reform are hot-button issues in Washington, D.C. right now. Those topics are also at the heart of the feature film "Monster," which debuted at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Director Anthony Mandler and the movie's star, Kelvin Harrison, Jr., discuss what it took to bring the 1999 novel by Walter Dean Myers to life.

Harrison, Jr. discusses what it was like to work alongside the "Dreamgirl."
