“He Didn’t Start the Fire” (S1E3)

THE BRINK with BENJAMIN BRYANT: INTERSECTIONS is a special multi-part investigative presentation from BZ/MP, released in a serialized storytelling format, telling the story of an American soldier Ana Clarke, and the night a tragic accident took away her ability to tell her own story–and gave others the opening to tell a very, very different one “for” her. Join host Benjamin Bryant and Tommy Zamberlan as they uncover the explosive truth of what happened that night, and the many injustices that followed, ultimately revealing a pattern of neglect and an urgent, unresolved issue that puts every serving member of the military at risk.

In Episode 3, the INTERSECTIONS team, using the same references, records, and public resources available to the Army’s investigator, set out to recreate the Clarke inquiry. When their review of the facts, circumstances, and predicating events related to accident (following the same instructions and guidelines governing the original investigation) produces starkly different results, uncovers new evidence, and suggests the selective exclusion of mitigating information, the questions surrounding the Clarke probe loom larger than ever.
