We're celebrating a double anniversary this week! Not only did author, journalist, and filmmaker Sebastian Junger join the National Writers Series for a conversation with co-founder Doug Stanton in May 2011, but his book The Perfect Storm was released on May 17th, 1996.
Of course, The Perfect Storm -- which followed the fishing vessel The Andrea Gail as it fought to survive against a brutal Nor'Easter storm -- was turned into a blockbuster hit movie in 2000 starring George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg.
Junger would join us again for a discussion in 2017, but join us now as we look back at our very first conversation where we cover his connection to the Boston Strangler, the reaction to his Oscar-nominated documentary Restrepo and the necessity of journalism in times and areas of conflict...
