A local boy

Beckley native and Oscar nominee Morgan Spurlock (the guy who ate all that McDonalds food) has a new film out, titled “Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden.”

The film focuses on the hunt for the terrorist mastermind and follows Spurlock as he goes around the world and examines attitudes in both the U.S. and the Middle East.

Although he doesn't find Osama, at one point during the making the film, a wild rumor that the filmmaker encountered him was spreading rapidly across the Internet.

A lengthy interview was just added on Counterpunch and is worth a read. Find it here.
