He has written a memoir “Failing to Get Ahead”. Dal has spent the 8 years of the Bush Administration trying to stop the War in Iraq. He funded four Iraq War movies: The War Tapes, The Ground Truth, Iraq For Sale, and Meeting Resistance and traveled with Congressman Jim McDermott to Amman to videotape McDermott’s interview of high level public officials from throughout the middle east. Working as a “citizen diplomat”, Dal partnered with Iraqi Parliament Member, Mohammed al-Dayni to work a cease-fire between Iraqi insurgents and the Coalition Forces. These efforts were covered on NPR’s “This American Life”.
