Redford is quite the political activist himself as founder of Redford Center, which describes itself as a “group driven by creative innocent and social activism.”

Chandor, and has a documentary in the works for Discovery Channel’s “All The President’s Men Revisited,” which premieres in Washington D.C. this month.
