On June 8, 2013, the documentary film of the same name, produced, narrated and co-written by Scahill, was released. It premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. Scahill is a Fellow at The Nation Institute. Scahill learned the journalism trade and got his start as a journalist on the independently syndicated daily news show ''Democracy Now!''. He lives in Brooklyn, New York. ==Early life== Scahill was born in Chicago, Illinois, and was raised in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee, by “social activist” parents, Lisa and Michael Scahill, who work as nurses.〔http://www.indyweek.com/indyweek/author-jeremy-scahill-discusses-how-blackwater-is-changing-how-war-is-waged/Content?oid=1204390〕 He graduated from Wauwatosa East High School in 1992. He attended a few University of Wisconsin regional campuses and a local technical college before deciding that his "time would be better spent by entering the struggle for justice in this country." After dropping out of college, Scahill spent several years on the East Coast working in homeless shelters. He started his career as an unpaid intern at the nonprofit news program ''Democracy Now!'' of the Pacifica Radio network. While he was at ''Democracy Now!'', Scahill learned the technical side of radio, and learned "journalism as a trade, rather than an academic study". Discussing the roots of his activism, Scahill said: "I think we all have to remember something that Dan Berrigan, the radical Catholic priest, said about Dorothy Day, founder of the Catholic Worker movement. He said she lived as though the truth were true." And: "Victory is relative when you listen to the powerful. But we have a victory in our midst, because the entire world is on our side. So I say that we call for an end to the death penalty in this country, and we call for an end to the collective death penalty being meted out on the rest of the world by this criminal government." He also worked in 2000 as a producer for Michael Moore's TV series ''The Awful Truth'' on Bravo.〔(Jeremy Scahill | Speaker Profile and Speaking Topics )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeremy Scahill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
