Lori Grinker was just an art school student when she was assigned to shoot a project on young boxers under the guidance of legendary trainer Cus D’Amato. It was through this project that she met a 13-year-old Mike Tyson, whose career would blossom at the same time as hers. Throughout her decades as a photographer, Grinker’s work has spanned a range of historical topics, and often found political insight in deeply personal portraits. Lori Grinker joins The Chris Hedges Report to discuss two of her books, Afterwar: Veterans from a World in Conflict and Mike Tyson.

  1. Thank you both for these extraordinary stories being discussed. I have to get these books by Ms. Lori Grinker.
    Boxers have had many interesting experiences and lives, extremely hard work, and various backgrounds.
    The business and fame are on another side that affect many lives in many fields if one is not grounded in who they are and with people who care.

  2. BTW how about the Ukrainian soldiers who have been purposely targeting and killing women, children, and elderly ethnic Russians in Eastern Ukraine for nine years?

  3. I just found the Chris Hedges Playlist. That Playlist is nice and organized, RT never made a Playlist for on contact. It was always mixed up with their other shows. I had to make a Playlist for On Contact back then.

  4. It's not hate that's in the heart of a boxer. But temper. My kid's a boxer.
    ✌🏻♥️💡 and thank you for this piece. A true insight into Tyson. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
