My feature documentary "America Lost" premieres tonight on PBS World!
It's hard to get a conservative film on national public television and we had to fight off multiple attempts to cancel it.
Grateful to my friends at PBS who stood up for this film!

It's been a journey for me with this film.
When I first made the decision to engage politically, I had old funders refuse to return my calls and old friends refuse to work on the project.
The documentary world is hyper-ideological—and I realized that I had to get out.
Two years ago, as I was finishing "America Lost," I wrote my first essay for @CityJournal, which led to an incredible line of opportunities with conservative think tanks and publications.
The documentary world closed its doors; the political world swung them wide open.
I'm grateful for my decade in documentaries. I traveled to more than 70 countries, met incredible people, and directed four films that broadcast on PBS.
But after tonight's broadcast, I'm retiring as a feature film director and focusing 100% on my work as a political writer.
P.S. If you can't catch the broadcast tonight, I've made the entire film available for free here:
