"Entrepreneurial Journalism in the Field of War" with Emile Ghessen (Virtual Event)
The Bastiat Society of San Francisco welcomes journalist, documentary filmmaker, and former Royal Marine Emile Ghessen as he shares his experience and evolution from serving in the British military to journalism. Discover how he ventures to high-risk regions to cover the human side of events, such as the Middle East where he was on the frontlines against ISIS, Eastern Europe soon after the Russo-Ukrainian War, and the Republic of Artsakh during the mass bombing of civilians.
Emile provides the insight and coverage that governments and the mainstream media fail to report. Learn about his new film due to come out this year: 45 Days - The Fight For A Nation.
