Director Peter Berg joins IndieWire features writer Jim Hemphill to discuss his epic new Netflix series “American Primeval,” a Western about the bloody battles that erupted in 1850s Utah between Mormons, immigrant settlers, indigenous tribes and faithless opportunists out to make a buck. Berg talks about creating the series’ visceral action sequences, relying on advisers and rigorous research to provide a sense of journalistic detail, and why he’s optimistic about the future of America in spite of his brutal vision of its past.
