Who Killed Lt. Van Dorn? with Filmmakers In Person

The first film to come from the Investigative Reporting Program at UC-Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism is an expose that is both poignant and revealing.

The widow of a Navy helicopter pilot killed in a 2014 training exercise spurs an investigation that uncovers a long history of institutional failings that led to her husband’s death.

Told through the eyes of survivors–pilots, mechanics and family members– viewers are taken on a journey from a single helicopter squadron into the heart of the murky inner workings of the American defense establishment.
