Reality twists and fractures as past and present collide, forcing him into a high-stakes battle for survival against an enemy he cannot see. Every moment is a fight to stay grounded.

In November 1943, a World War II transport ship equipped with non-functioning lifeboats and inadequate lifebelts was sunk by one of the first radio-guided missiles ever used in war. 1,015 U.S. soldiers were killed in the attack that remains the greatest loss of life at sea in the history of any U.S. war. Uncovered classified documents reveal that neglect and oversight contributed to the large number of casualties. The government deflected responsibility by declaring the disaster classified indefinitely and ordered all survivors to remain silent. The casualty families were stonewalled and most of them went to their own graves never knowing what happened; their boys just never came home. "Rohna Classified" 2024. 56 mins.

After 20 years of war, America’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan left hundreds of thousands of Afghan interpreters and other allies behind as the Taliban retook the country with shocking speed. Fearing retribution for his brave work with the U.S., beloved interpreter “Max” and his family of 10 are forced into hiding as they desperately struggle to escape Afghanistan before they are tracked down and punished. Meanwhile in the U.S., Max’s former brothers in arms and their network of supporters work frantically to navigate the byzantine visa process established by the U.S. government to bring these allies to safety. Told through frenzied communications between Max, his devoted Marine friend Joe and their network, "Max: One Last Favor" bears witness to the surreal situation unfolding over time as the group confronts the harsh realities of a broken system and a world that has moved on.
