The work of a CIA analyst is the first line of defense to protect the US against a potential threat. Like the fictional Jack Ryan, Aki Peritz was a hotshot researcher who had to learn quickly how to make sense of really complex intelligence before going overseas.
In this documentary, Aki tells us what it's like to be an analyst serving in Baghdad, and meeting insurgent groups to convince them to join together and fight a common enemy, Al Qaeda.
Created with The Prime Original Series, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan begins streaming on Prime Video August 31st.
