JEANNE MCKINNEY IS AN award-winning military journalist as well as a military documentary filmmaker. She is currently in the final stages of writing, directing, and producing Ronin 3: The Battle for Sangin—a three-part documentary series that follows 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines through a labyrinth of murder holes and IEDs in a heavily entrenched Taliban stronghold, on their mission to restore security to the local Afghan people.Her focus and passion are telling the legendary stories about United States active-duty military members in their fight to keep America and her allies safe and free. McKinney offers an inside look at men and women who do the hard and very dangerous job of counterinsurgency to stop and disrupt the plans of the world’s most notorious terrorist groups. She shines a light on America’s amazing warfighters, telling their stories as if you were there with them on combat missions throughout Afghanistan, Iraq, Africa, Syria, or wherever the next global hotspot erupts.
