“Win or Lose, the Game’s Still Over” (S1E5)

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 5, the INTERSECTIONS team takes a look at larger issues within the military’s Line of Duty investigation process, and considers the need for potential reform. When a final, unappealable decision in Clarke’s case is handed down, the team explores the appeal board’s reasoning, and discusses the impact the decision is likely to have on Clarke and her family. With the Clarke case resolved, for better or worse, the team looks to the future, wondering if there is still more of story to be told.
