Christopher Dylan Herbert in Jonathan Berger's The War Reporter

Christopher Dylan Herbert in War Reporter

When Christopher Dylan Herbert recently attended our annual Barihunks lunch in New York City, it reminded us that we had never posted the video of his haunting performance last April in Jonathan Berger's The War Reporter. He was joined by his fellow members of New York Polyphony, soprano Heather Buck and the St. Lawrence String Quartet at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.

Jonathan Berger's The War Reporter is based on the true story of Pulitzer Prize–winning photojournalist Paul Watson. Convinced that he is haunted by the ghost of an American soldier he photographed in Mogadishu in 1993, Watson seeks to rid himself of this curse.
