[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4249166, member: 5412"] There is a documentary that premiered April 11 in LA and NYC. It's called American Bomber. The documentary will stream on HBO sometime in the future. The documentary will include interviews of Timothy Mcveigh, one of which was conducted by Mike Boettcher of Ponca City. Only 4 people were allowed to interview him in prison, Mike was one of them. Mike worked for NBC when the Murrah building was bombed and was onsite the next day with Katy Kouric who is producing the movie. At Mikes request out of respect for the survivors and family, were allowed first screening earlier this month at OU. The families of the 168 victims as well as 600 injured survivors got a sneak peak. If anyone is not familiar with who Mike is, he has been a war correspondent and investigative journalist since 1980. He's been embedded with our troops in every conflict since then. Survived a kidnapping in El Salvadore, and an explosion by a suicide bomber in Beirut. Mike and his son spent two years imbedded with the 101st Airborne in Afghanistan. Afterward he produced a documentary about their time there called "The Hornets Nest". It can be seen on some streaming services including Amazon Prime. He has also produced with his son a documentary I watched last night on Prime called "Citizen Soldier". It's about a group of Oklahoma 45th Infantry National Guard soldiers that got called up to fight in Afghanistan. Oklahoma's own band of brothers. He may work for liberal media, but his documentaries have zero politics involved in them. He is an old school journalist that reports the facts and tells the story of what really happened. He is currently a "visiting professor" in the school of Journalism at OU. Our families grew up across the street from each other, although he was younger than I and we never met but have always kept tabs on his career. [/QUOTE]
