This week on The Treatment, Elvis welcomes Oscar-winning writer and director Aaron Sorkin, whose newest project is Netflix’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” which he wrote and directed. Sorkin won an Academy Award for his screenplay for “The Social Network,” and his many other works include “The West Wing,” “A Few Good Men,” and “Molly’s Game.” Sorkin discusses how his writing is often at the intersection of screwball comedy and drama. He talks about how “Chicago 7” has become even more relevant over the last several months of protests and political friction. And he tells The Treatment why he loves to drop audiences in his movies while they’re already at full speed.
