Info: Our guests are Ivan Kander and Rob Jones. Kander is the director of a 30 minute documentary film about his friend, Rob Jones. The movie details the events leading up to July 22, 2010 when Marine Corporal Rob Jones was severely wounded in the Helmand province of Afghanistan while on routine patrol. Ivan Kander went to middle school and high school with Rob Jones, and decided to document Rob's life as he learned to cope with the loss of his legs and the rehabilitation of his body. The movie explores three phases in Rob’s journey beginning with the story of his injury, the remarkable progression of his recovery, and his ultimate return to every day living back in the United States. Ivan discusses how he went about making the movie, his motivations for doing it, and where and how the documentary may be viewed. Rob describes his wounds and his reasons for participating in the movie, as well as his plans for the future.
