Go behind the scenes with director Robert Kenner in this scene from the American Experience documentary, Command and Control. Command and Control premieres Tuesday, January 10 on PBS.
While serving in the USAF as an Air Battle Manager, I had the pleasure of touring this facility during a private tour in 2006. The tour guides were retired missileers and the facility itself (as well as the whole experience), was absolutely incredible.
Its too bad that this was done by PBS because its a great documentary, wonderfully shot, edited and presented in a compelling way that keeps you glued to the screen. I say that about PBS because I wish MORE people would watch this. I would love to see this on the History Channel, where MORE people could appreciate it. As I watched, this scene in particular was so compelling that I wondered how in the hell they did it. I appreciate the time that it took to make this small breakdown and tell us about it.
