Towers to Produce Nat Geo Special on War in Iraq
CHICAGO, June 27: Towers Productions will produce a one-hour documentary special for the
National Geographic Channel entitled Road to War, about the origins of the war in Iraq, for broadcast in the U.S. in late August.
Towers will also handle the distribution of the program, for which it retains the international television rights. Road to War is a first-hand account of the events leading up to the invasion of Iraq, tracing the path to the Iraq war in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. There is a particular focus on President Bush and the nature of his decision-making, with an assessment of how the 9/11 attacks galvanized the Bush presidency, and led to a transformation of American foreign policy. The program is also built around interviews with a number of high-ranking officials, revealing intimate details from classified meetings to public speeches.
Other factual programming that TPI has made available for the international television market are: The Final Report (National Geographic Channel), Storm Stories (The Weather Channel), Sports Action Team (NBC) and After Saddam and The Case Against Saddam (Discovery Networks).
