Raised in Denmark, Hans Tofte eventually began a lifetime of adventures working for the Special Operations Executive (a precursor to the OSS); the OSS during WWII; and the CIA during the Korean War and afterward. Known for his indefatigable support for Yugoslave partisans in 1943-44; his inolvement in regime change in Guatemala in 1954, and his involvement in the Korean War's Operation TP-STOLE in which he cut off critical medical supplies to Chinese forces fighting in North Korea, (clandestinely supplied by the Indian government) simultaneously saving the U.S. government $1MM and saving many American lives.

Author, historian, and former intelligence officer David A. Foy shares Tofte's remarkable story, and how he ended up forgotten by history and the agency where he was a legend; all drawn from his book, "Superspy."

Director Michael Gier talks about his new movie "The Heroism and Resiliency of 9/11: From Tragedy to Triumph" for the 25th commemoration of the attacks on September 11th, narrated by Gary Sinise. Michael’s documentary tells a different kind of 9/11 story -- one that honors the tragedy of the day by focusing on the inspiring human response that followed.

Michael shares unknown stories of the first responders, survivors, families, public servants, and everyday Americans whose courage created hope in the aftermath of the attacks, including the remarkable, unplanned boatlift of over 500,000 people from southern Manhattan.
