On this episode of the podcast, Filmmaker and Former U.S. Agency for Global Media CEO Michael Pack joins the show to discuss his powerful new documentary, “The Last 600 Meters: The Battles of Najaf and Fallujah” which will premiere one day before Veterans Day on November 10th on PBS.
The film, once rejected for being ‘too pro-military,’ captures the grit, courage and sacrifice of American troops during two of Iraq’s most intense battles.
This interview also features an additional conversation between Head and Pack as he pulls back the curtain on the political obstacles he faced within public broadcasting and the administrative state while serving as CEO of USAGM. He revealed just how bureaucracy often stands in the way of truth-telling.
