A true pioneer in television, Phil Donahue is the father of daytime talk. Now, this esteemed former TV host is turning his considerable talents to film, co-producing a new documentary called Body of War, a critical examination of the war in Iraq through the eyes of a young soldier who was shot and paralyzed days after arriving in Baghdad. Enrique Cerna talks with Donahue about his film, the war, politics today, and a career in television and journalism that shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
