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. Mandler says the film largely holds true to the book, but that some things just didn't translate from 1999 to 2018. The film also stars Jennifer Hudson. Harrison, Jr. discusses what it was like to work alongside the "Dreamgirl."
