Director's Biography
Rob Leicester Wagner is a veteran journalist and award-winning documentary filmmaker. During his journalism career as a newspaper reporter he covered legal affairs and crime, including the Night Stalker trial in Los Angeles in the 1980s among other high-profile criminal cases. In 2004, he was named national editor, then managing editor of the Saudi Gazette, an English-language newspaper in Saudi Arabia. In 2012, he joined the Gazette's rival, the Arab News. With the Gazette he supervised terrorism and counter-terrorism issues. As a documentary filmmaker, Wagner's first film was "Searching for Halifax NP711," which explored the fatal crash of a Canadian Halifax bomber crew shot down over Germany in 1945. He has since produced and directed other films. Wagner is CEO of Flying Goose Productions and lives in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with his wife, film producer and academic Dr. Sabria Salama Jawhar, and their two young children.
