A Documentary on
CNN by Aaron Selverston & Najlae
Benmbarek
My
most recent documentary was aired on Friday, 9/15, on CNN
at 8:00 PM / PST (11:00 PM / EST). Please
tune in to see an
interview with myself and my partner, Najlae
Benmbarek, conducted by Anderson Cooper. Anderson
Cooper 360
The
piece is one of three produced under a Carnegie
/ Knight Fellowship focusing on the
US Military abroad, outside of Iraq and
Afghanistan. Our piece
follows US troops in Djibouti,
East Africa, as they attempt a modern "hearts
and minds" campaign using civil affairs
techniques.
That this piece is airing during
the week of 9/11 is no coincidence.The full-length,
uncut version of the Djibouti piece can
be viewed online here.
To read how viewers responded to the CNN
piece visit the Anderson Cooper 360 blog.
Promos
aired all week on CNN and Aaron blogged
live on cnn.com during the actual broadcast.
Aaron also
created a blog with video clips that was
made while during his stay in Djibouti. It can can
