Yet, Haiti is still left with­out a san­i­tary water infra­struc­ture or repa­ra­tions for the more than half a mil­lion vic­tims of the cholera out­break.

  • Dan Rather Reports - "Bari Alai" This is part 2 of a Emmy nominated story I produced and filmed in Afghanistan in 2010 for Dan Rather Reports, it aired for the first time on Sept. 13, 2011 on the HDNet channel.

    You've most likely heard of Restrepo but you haven't heard of Bari Alai. In May of 2009 Out Post Bari Alai was attacked and completely over run by Taliban forces, only two of the seven NATO soldiers stationed there survived the attack. This story is about the soldiers that replaced them three weeks later and went on to spend a year on top of the hill while being fired on almost daily.
