Interpreting for the US Army of the Deaf

Robert Ham, the director and writer of Interpreters Wanted, a film that centers around the life of two Afghan interpreters who helped U.S. forces during the 20-year war, joins Robert Scheer on this episode of Scheer Intelligence. Ham, an Afghanistan War veteran himself, offers a sobering account of an often overlooked aspect of warfare. The attitude of indifference and detachment from the wars in which the U.S. involves itself by ordinary citizens was one of the reasons Ham wanted to produce this film. “[T]here is a big distance between our civilian class in America and the military class. There’s a very different culture there. The military operates in these very micro cultures, and the media doesn’t really understand what’s going on over there. In America, [people] didn’t seem to be super interested in what was happening over there,” Ham said.
