Vanguard correspondent Christof Putzel goes behind the scenes of the episode "American Jihadi" and shares the story of how he and Omar Hammami, a young man who now fights as part of the terrorist group Al-Shabaab, crossed paths in Somalia back in 2006. Christof also explains how he canvassed small town Daphne, Alabama, searching for anyone who would speak to him about the story--and ended up meeting Omar's best friend, Bernie Culveyhouse.
"Vanguard," airing weekly on Current TV Wednesdays at 10/9c, is a no-limits documentary series whose award-winning correspondents put themselves in extraordinary situations to immerse viewers in global issues that have a large social significance. Unlike sound-bite driven reporting, the show's correspondents, Adam Yamaguchi, Kaj Larsen, Christof Putzel and Mariana van Zeller, serve as trusted guides who take viewers on in-depth real life adventures in pursuit of some of the world's most important stories.
