ON THE FRONTLINES
Some were interviewed multiple times, as conditions changed within their companies.
By our count, portions of 163 of these interviews made it into our first four DVD programs. Many more are on the panel discussions in “DVD Extras” (Disk Five), hosted by Thomas L. Friedman and J. Michael Chu, presented by special arrangement with the Committee of 100.
By far, most of the interviews were conducted in China, although some were done in the USA, Canada and England.
