War Horse

Legendary director Steven Spielberg talks to Lily about film's power to tell great, important stories.

War Horse was written by the renowned children's author Michael Morpurgo and has since been turned into an award-winning stage show, and now this Steven Spielberg epic, with a screenplay by Lee Hall and Richard Curtis. Here, you can watch as Spielberg talks to Lily at the premiere and press conference - which we live-streamed - plus contributions from Michael Morpurgo, Richard Curtis and several of the actors.
