Dan Rather’s 60+ year career coincides with some of the seminal moments in American journalism. From his days embedded in the Vietnam War, to his on-the-ground coverage of JFK’s assassination, to his presence at the foot of the Berlin Wall as it fell, Dan Rather has reported on an astonishing number of iconic moments in history. Now, as a 92-year-old reflecting on seven decades of service and looking to the future of democracy, we meet a man freed from the auspices of any overarching network or deadline and with a dedication to the truth.
Frank Marshall often collaborates with his wife, film producer Kathleen Kennedy, with whom he founded Amblin Entertainment, along with Steven Spielberg. Marshall has worked with directors such as Spielberg, Paul Greengrass, Peter Bogdanovich, David Fincher, M. Night Shyamalan, and Robert Zemeckis. He has also directed the films Arachnophobia, Alive, Congo, Eight Below, and the documentaries The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart and Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story. Marshall is one of the few people to have received an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony (EGOT).
