WAR: The Afterparty is a one-of-a-kind citizen audit of the aftereffects of a half-century of U.S. military interventions. FORA.tv founder and long-time media executive Brian Gruber straps on a backpack and travels solo around the world, from a front-line Iraqi Army base outside Mosul to an encounter with Afghanistan’s leading mullah, from the Panama Canal and Serbia to Vietnam and the killing fields of Cambodia. Through a series of extraordinary interviews and chance encounters with political and religious leaders, writers, teachers, mothers, and combatants, he examines whether the objectives of war are accomplished, and at what human and financial costs. Seeking fresh narratives, Gruber explores perspectives from the other end of the gun barrel, and comes up with provocative, often surprising answers.
