Vanguard correspondent Christof Putzel had one foot out the door, on his way to shoot his first story of the season, when editors staged an intervention. “Your footage sucks,” they said, pleading for him to put down his trusted Sony A1-U and let the pros handle the shooting. After years of filming his own interviews, Christof says, “The idea of not having it kind of freaks me out a little.” Vanguard is Current TV's original documentary series. Led by correspondents Mariana van Zeller, Christof Putzel, Adam Yamaguchi and Kaj Larsen, Vanguard features enterprising reports from around the globe. It airs every Wednesday at 10pm on Current TV.
