MFR's Lydia Batham speaks to John Krasinski about his new film 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.
The film is a true story about six elite ex-military operators assigned to protect the CIA. In September 2012 the US diplomatic compound came under attack from terrorists and the operators fought back against all odds.
John who plays CIA contractor Jack Silva said the hardest thing about this film was "telling the story".
The actor met the 'real Jack' during the making of the film and also attended a number of screenings with those who were involved and subsequently wrote the book which the film is based on.
He went on to say how probably the proudest moment of his career was when Jack came up to him and said "thank you".
