The DVD includes two featurettes: “About Paterno,” in which Pacino joins director Barry Levinson and actress Riley Keough to discuss the story behind the film and its perspective; and “Joe Paterno’s Impact,” in which Levinson and Pacino talk about Paterno’s responsibilities relating to the scandal.
