Viggo Mortensen & Matt Ross On "Captain Fantastic" | BUILD Series


Deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, isolated from society, a devoted father (Viggo Mortensen) dedicates his life to transforming his six young children into extraordinary adults. But when a tragedy strikes the family, they are forced to leave this self­-created paradise and begin a journey into the outside world that challenges his idea of what it means to be a parent, bringing into question everything he's taught them. Join Mortensen and writer/director Matt Ross as they discuss the film.
