Former Navy SEAL on 'Warfare' and its depiction of combat

Season 2025 Episode 101 | 6m 09s

Ray Mendoza is a former Navy SEAL and wrote and co-directed the new film, "Warfare." It tells the true story of a mission Mendoza participated in when he and his team were ambushed while conducting a surveillance operation gone awry in Iraq. It's based entirely on the memory of those who lived through it. Geoff Bennett sat down with Mendoza for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
