"When I chose writing and newspaper reporting as my first career, I thought I was destined for a lonely life, engaged in mostly solitary pursuits. but those years turned out to be the best preparation for what I am doing now, writing, producing, and shooting documentaries for television. And it has been far from lonely. I have worked with some of the finest and most talented people in the industry. To them this DVD is dedicated. It is, after all, their product too."
