“Hell or High Water” – Interview with Gil Birmingham

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 19th, 2016 - Interviews

It’s all there and more.”

“[The] sacrifices that Ambassador Chris Stevens made, that Sean Smith made, that Ty and Glen made, for someone to take this story and turn it into politics, turn it into something it wasn’t, it made us mad. We got together and talked as a team and tried to figure out a way to do this. We knew if we just went to the media and said, hey, this is wrong, it would only get spun again. We needed to do something more concrete.”
