Michael Pack is the director behind the new documentary film titled, Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words. During today’s interview, Michael Pack shares how Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas rose from poverty to prosperity and from bitterness to betterness.

On Friday a new movie, "Created Equal: Clarence Thomas In His Own Words," will open in theaters across the country. The most striking thing about it is obvious from the beginning: The famously publicity-shy Supreme Court justice is talking. A lot. Thomas spoke to filmmaker Michael Pack for 30 hours -- yes, 30 hours -- of interviews. What emerges is a deeply personal look at a consequential historical figure who has shunned personal revelations for nearly all of his life. In this podcast, Pack talks about Thomas' life and how 30 hours of interviews turned into an extraordinary film. For more, see justicethomasmovie.com
