GOING TO WAR

Executive Producer

What is it really like to go to war? Airing on PBS, this powerful Emmy-nominated documentary is filled with the experience of war itself: Terror, pain, and grief, but also exhilaration and a profound sense of purpose. Veterans from recent wars recount their raw experience, led by renowned authors Sebastian Junger and Karl Marlantes. Through the soldiers’ raw accounts, they help us make sense of this paradox and get to the heart of what it’s like to be a soldier at war, describing the universal truths of combat with unflinching candor.
