Ricky Schroder made his name in Hollywood as a TV star, and now he's got a new passion: making documentaries about war, and the lives it impacts.

The three-hour series follows a cameraman's efforts to save lives, providing medical treatment, care, and training to the victims of the deadly crisis. Schroder tells us why he's so passionate about the material, and gives his take on whether Hollywood is telling soldiers' stories effectively. Then, we discuss the flood of headlines coming out of Hollywood accusing powerful entertainment figures of sexual harassment. With almost four decades in show business, Schroder tells us whether he's surprised by the allegations and if he thinks Hollywood has reached a turning point.
