The Attempted Assassination of Ronald Reagan

I produced a major documentary about the 1981 attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan. It’s hosted by Fox News Channel’s Bret Baier, host of Special Report.

I spent 7 months on research, production, and post-production on this project and uncovered a fascinating convergence of events that has escaped notice of historians. In that sense, I hope to preserve and add to the accurate historical record of this fateful day. I am grateful to Fox Nation for affording me the time and resources to dedicate to one major project. It could not have been done without a talented and hardworking team of cameramen, editors, graphics artists, production assistants, and more. Special thanks to Vice President Long-Form Programming Brian Gaffney.
