Tresha Mabile is a documentary filmmaker. Her filmmaking centers America’s recent wars and reveals the struggles and sacrifices of the people who dedicated their lives to service, from the U.S. Navy’s submarine campaign against the Soviet Union during the Cold War to America’s final days in Afghanistan. Filmed in Russia, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, these very different films also focus on the local population where America was at war.
In 2011 Nicholls State University awarded me an honorary Doctorate of Letters for my work covering the military. It was a great honor to be home at the University where I first realized my love of journalism. In the Fall of 2017, The Green Beret Foundation honored me with its Steel Magnolia Award for my work with Special Forces. I am deeply grateful to the organization for its recognition, but also for all the wonderful work it does to support veterans.
