SECTION 1591

During a career in the army, Jeff Tiegs (LTC (RET), U.S. 1st SFOD-D), saw the sex trafficking of minors in all conflict situations. Now, his retirement from elite special operations forces opens his eyes to the scale of the problem at home. It is far bigger than he could have ever imagined. This epiphany threatens his own moral sensibilities and destabilizes the very notion of peace on American soil, so he embarks on another mission, this one out of uniform, to bring his unique set of skills to the counter-human trafficking fight at home.

ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER

A retired American General partners with a world-renowned actor to expose the Russian campaign against democracy in Europe. Donald Trump may have lost re-election, but the forces behind illiberalism and autocracy are on the march, threatening the democratic world order for the first time since the Cold War. The series takes viewers beyond the “fake news” epidemic to reveal its source, lifting the veil on how democratic societies are being pitted against themselves as part of a deliberate campaign by the Russian government.

LOST GENERATION

A small group of American politicians, all of them veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, have brought their wartime experience to the U.S. Congress. As soldiers, they witnessed the decline of American power first-hand, and their experience engendered very different perspectives on what went wrong and what should be done about it. How did the United States fall so precipitously from being the only hyperpower in history, and how can America regain its international prestige in a new and uncertain multipolar world?
