After the screening of COUP 53 at BAMPFA, Mark Danner interviews Walter Murch, the film's co-writer and editor. In this 11-minute clip taken from the full 1 hour 14 minute interview, Walter Murch presents a forensic analysis of claims made by producers of End of Empire about their "off the record" interview with MI6 officer Norman Darbyshire, played by Ralph Fiennes in COUP 53. The clip also includes an interview with Darbyshire's CIA counterpart Stephen Meade, which had never been seen before until the release of COUP 53 at 2019 Telluride Film Festival.
