James Graham seeks to understand his country's history through his work, including 'Brexit,' 'The Crown' and AMC's new game show cheating drama, 'Quiz.'
“I really enjoy finding these cultural moments, whether it’s a referendum or a game show cheating trial, which in and of themselves don’t necessarily feel like more than the sum of their parts,” he said, “but if you step back they seem to represent something bigger about who we are, what we’re doing and where we’re going.”Rather than tackling the obvious subject, “I consciously look for those peculiar back doors,” he said.
“At the time he was completely unknown, so to drag him into the light felt like an important public service, but also just a more exciting, fizzy, subversive way” of looking at the referendum, Graham said.
