Michael Boyd is designing
The Long Road Home, a true story of heroism, courage, and sacrifice
when a small platoon of the 1st Cavalry Division was surrounded by
thousands of Iraqi insurgents in Sadr City, Iraq, in 2004. Directed by
Phil Abraham and Boyd's old friend Mikael Salomon, the eight-hour
limited series for National Geographic and FX focuses on the perilous
incident and how the soldiers were finally rescued. Boyd felt honored
to work on such an extraordinary and challenging story about our fight-
ing men and women in Iraq.
