Ep. 302 - Jen Gatien, Billy Corben "Men of War"

Today on the podcast, I’m joined by two of the most fearless voices in documentary filmmaking: Billy Corben and Jen Gatien. Billy is the director behind cult-classic docs like Cocaine Cowboys, The U, and Screwball. Jen Gatien is a veteran producer and director whose work spans narrative and nonfiction, such as Holy Rollers, For Ellen, Limelight, Jack & Diane, and Midnight Sun. Together, they’ve teamed up on a gripping new film called Men of War, which chronicles the astonishing true story of Operation Gideon—the failed 2020 coup attempt in Venezuela—and the covert network of ex-generals, mercenaries, and political operatives behind it.
