Lulu Miller, Latif Nasser

Booking Overview

An investigative science-and-culture documentary show that typically incorporates interviews with researchers, legal experts, journalists, public officials, artists, and people with compelling firsthand experiences into deeply reported narratives. Agencies could credibly pitch authoritative experts, authors, academics, policy figures, and distinctive real-world subjects with both expertise and a strong story, but booking is very difficult because the editorial process is highly selective and story-driven.
