'Moonlight' Director on Making His Masterpiece

Sinopse

Barry Jenkins is the lavishly gifted director and screenwriter of "Moonlight." Fresh off a Golden Globe win for Best Picture Drama, "Moonlight" is shaping up as the one film that can give "La La Land" a run for its Oscar gold. Featuring award-caliber performances from Mahershala Ali, Naomie Harris and the three young actors (Alex Hibbert, Ashton Sanders and Trevante Rhodes) who share the lead role of a boy growing up black, gay and alienated in the Miami projects, "Moonlight" is an emotional wipeout. Jenkins himself says he can't watch the film with an audience. It's that personal. He shares his story about how it all began. * ABOUT POPCORN WITH PETER TRAVERS: This show features the world's biggest stars and top moviemakers.
