In the new film "The Congressman," actor Treat Williams plays Charlie Winship, a Vietnam-era veteran turned U.S. congressman. The plot is based on the real life of Robert Mrazek, who represented Long Island, New York, from 1983 to 1993. But, as he tells Here & Now's Robin Young, he always wanted to be a filmmaker.

Guest

Robert Mrazek, former representative from the 3rd Congressional District.
