Andy Irons was a professional surfer and three-time world champion who died in 2010 at the age of 32 after battling bipolar disorder and opioid addiction. A new documentary, "Andy Irons: Kissed By God," explores Irons' experiences and how they relate to the larger conversation about mental health and addiction. NewsHour Weekend's Megan Thompson recently sat down with Steve Jones, one of the producers of the documentary, to talk about what drove him to make it.
