Summary
Academy Award-winning producer Brian Grazer (Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind) stated at the Aspen Institute's Ideas Festival that he deliberately avoids politics in his films, preferring stories that connect people rather than divide them. He described his approach as focused on universal themes rather than left or right political messaging, citing Frost/Nixon as a straightforward account of events rather than a political statement.
