In an interview for the FRONTLINE documentary “Putin’s Road to War,” journalist Julia Ioffe discusses Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine — and why she believes the Russian leader is now “more dangerous than he’s ever been at any point in the last 22 years.”
“What he has opened up with this invasion is unthinkable,” Ioffe tells FRONTLINE. “And because he is losing and because the sanctions and the Ukrainians are humiliating him, because he is backed into a corner, he is the most dangerous he has ever been, because it is now existential for him.”
Julia Ioffe is an American journalist who was born in Russia. She is a writer for and founding partner of the media company Puck. She previously reported on politics and world affairs for The Atlantic.
This interview was conducted by FRONTLINE’s Mike Wiser on March 3, 2022. It has been edited for clarity and length.

Amid record police shootings in Utah, an investigation into the use of deadly force in the state with FRONTLINE’s local journalism partner The Salt Lake Tribune.
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate.
“Shots Fired” is the first nationally broadcast documentary stemming from FRONTLINE’s Local Journalism Initiative, an innovative effort to support and strengthen investigative reporting in communities around the country that's funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and based out of FRONTLINE’s newsroom at GBH in Boston.
The documentary offers a one-of-a-kind look at police shootings in Utah over the past decade, drawing on a unique database begun by The Salt Lake Tribune and expanded with FRONTLINE’s assistance over the past year. The two organizations filed hundreds of records requests; combed through court documents, 911 transcripts, internal investigations and media reports; examined body camera footage; and spoke to law enforcement officials, experts and families of people shot by police.
In some cases, the data is incomplete and the numbers too small to draw broad conclusions. But the vast majority of the 226 shootings FRONTLINE and The Salt Lake Tribune documented over the past decade had one thing in common: They were ruled justified. Among the additional findings: Racial and ethnic minorities were disproportionately represented; more than 40% of people shot at were identified by police or families to have had a mental health issue, a mental disability or to have been suicidal; 34 Utah officers have been involved in at least two shootings in their career; and many of the officers who fired their weapons cited their training.
Explore these and more findings in the documentary, which premieres Nov. 23, 2021 on FRONTLINE: https://to.pbs.org/3CPE7cZ

How do you talk about death with a dying loved one? Dr. Atul Gawande explores death, dying and why even doctors struggle to discuss being mortal with patients, in this Emmy-nominated documentary.
“Aging and dying — you can’t fix those," says Dr. Gawande. This film examines the relationships between doctors and patients nearing the end of life, and how the medical profession can better help people navigate mortality. The ultimate goal, after all, is not a good death but a good life — to the very end.

Dental care can be a matter of life or death. Yet millions of Americans either don’t have dental insurance or simply can’t afford to see a dentist. The result? Severe pain, preventable disease, humiliation, bankruptcy and sometimes even death. (Aired 2012)
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate.
In a 2012 joint investigation by FRONTLINE and the Center for Public Integrity, correspondent Miles O’Brien uncovers the shocking consequences of a broken dental care system. Poor children, entitled by law to dental care, often cannot find a dentist willing to see them. Others kids receive excessive care billed to Medicaid, or major surgery for preventable tooth infections. For adults with dental disease, the situation can be just as dire and bankrupting. While millions of Americans use emergency rooms for dental care, corporate dental chains are filling the gaps in care, and in some cases have allegedly overcharged patients or loaded them with high priced credit card debt.

More and more elderly Americans will be faced with the decision as to whether to spend their later years in assisted living facilities, which have sprung up as an alternative to nursing homes. But is this loosely regulated, multi-billion dollar industry putting seniors at risk? (Aired 2013)
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate.
In this major 2013 investigation with ProPublica, FRONTLINE examines the operations of the nation’s largest assisted living company, raising questions about the drive for profits and fatal lapses in care. Assisted living started in the 1980s as a reaction to nursing homes, which had become more oriented toward hospitalization, and as a way of offering seniors more choices and more independence in the way they live. But over the years, assisted living has evolved to house seniors who need specialized care, such as those with memory impairments. That means that people have more needs, require more attention — and, some senior advocates argue, more or better regulations to ensure that the residents are safe and getting the quality of care they need.

In 2004, FRONTLINE investigated the rampant abuse of tax shelters dating back to the late 1990s, finding that some of America’s most respected accounting firms were responsible and that American taxpayers were paying for it. (Aired 2004)
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate.
As the documentary “Tax Me If You Can” explored, the tax shelter became one of corporate America’s biggest hidden profit centers in the 1990s and early 2000s. The General Accounting Office estimated that bogus tax shelters at the time cost the government more than $85 billion.
Correspondent Hedrick Smith spoke with government officials, tax experts and industry insiders to expose these tax shelters. His reporting led him to some unexpected places — from the city of Dortmund, Germany, to the Cayman Islands. The documentary examined how difficult it was for the Internal Revenue Service to find tax shelters and how the tax shelter wave prompted a federal investigation. The ultimate victim in this scheme, experts in the documentary said, is the honest taxpayer who is left to make up what companies aren’t paying.
“Tax Me If You Can” is a FRONTLINE production with Hedrick Smith Productions. The co-writer, director and producer is Rick Young. The co-writer, correspondent and senior producer is Hedrick Smith.

FRONTLINE told the vivid, inside story of how the biggest Ebola outbreak on record began and why it wasn’t stopped before it was too late. (Aired 2015)
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate.
FRONTLINE spent months on the ground in West Africa, tracing the Ebola outbreak’s path through Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia in 2014 and 2015 and uncovering the hidden story of what happened before the world started paying attention. The documentary shared firsthand accounts from survivors and victims’ family members — from the forest region of Guinea to the bustling Liberian capital of Monrovia — including the father of a one-year-old Guinean child who was believed to be the first person to die in the outbreak.
With access to key global and local decision-makers and health responders, “Outbreak” exposed tragic missteps in the response to what would become the deadliest Ebola outbreak that the world had ever experienced. The documentary drew on revelatory and candid admissions of failure from key government and public health officials, some of whom were speaking publicly for the first time. The investigation raised prescient questions about whether governments and global health organizations had the capacity to respond at the right scale the next time the world faced a major infectious epidemic.

In 2004, FRONTLINE investigated the rampant abuse of tax shelters dating back to the late 1990s, finding that some of America’s most respected accounting firms were responsible and that American taxpayers were paying for it. (Aired 2004)
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate.
As the documentary “Tax Me If You Can” explored, the tax shelter became one of corporate America’s biggest hidden profit centers in the 1990s and early 2000s. The General Accounting Office estimated that bogus tax shelters at the time cost the government more than $85 billion.
Correspondent Hedrick Smith spoke with government officials, tax experts and industry insiders to expose these tax shelters. His reporting led him to some unexpected places — from the city of Dortmund, Germany, to the Cayman Islands. The documentary examined how difficult it was for the Internal Revenue Service to find tax shelters and how the tax shelter wave prompted a federal investigation. The ultimate victim in this scheme, experts in the documentary said, is the honest taxpayer who is left to make up what companies aren’t paying.
“Tax Me If You Can” is a FRONTLINE production with Hedrick Smith Productions. The co-writer, director and producer is Rick Young. The co-writer, correspondent and senior producer is Hedrick Smith.

Between 1981 and 1990, five Vietnamese-American journalists in cities across the U.S. were murdered, and many others in the community were intimidated and attacked.

Thompson reopen a domestic terrorism case that went unsolved for decades.

Watch the final episode of “The Power of Big Oil,” a three-part FRONTLINE docuseries investigating what scientists, corporations and politicians have known about human-caused climate change for decades — and the missed opportunities to mitigate the problem.
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate.
Throughout the first two episodes of “The Power of Big Oil,” FRONTLINE went inside the fossil fuel industry’s efforts in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s to stall action on climate change by cultivating denial and doubt.
The third and final episode of the series brings the story up to the present.
“Delay,” part three of “The Power of Big Oil,” investigates how, even as the warnings about climate change grew, the U.S. reemerged as one of the world's biggest oil and gas producers, and the fossil fuel industry worked to delay the transition to renewable energy sources — including by promoting natural gas as a cleaner alternative. But as the country was entering a gas boom, a former Exxon Mobil engineer tells FRONTLINE that the industry wasn’t monitoring for methane leaks that could turbo-charge the climate crisis.
As it brings the Big Oil series to a close, “Delay” unpacks the Obama, Trump and Biden administrations’ actions on climate change; explores what may happen next; and examines what’s at stake.

An investigation into the breakdowns with police, military and mental health care in the lead-up to what became the deadliest mass shooting in Maine’s history.
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate
There were 656 mass shootings in the United States in 2023. The one in October in Lewiston, Maine — where an Army reservist killed 18 people and wounded 13 — was the year’s deadliest.
In “Breakdown in Maine,” FRONTLINE and its Local Journalism Initiative partners the Portland Press Herald and Maine Public examine a series of missteps by the military, local law enforcement and mental health providers before the tragedy. The documentary probes Maine’s unique gun laws and details the shooter’s brain injuries, possibly sustained during his time as an Army grenade instructor. It also examines the devastating impact of the shooting, including on Maine’s Deaf community, which lost four people that day.
“Whose fault is it? Who do we blame?” asks Megan Vozzella, whose husband, Steve, was killed in the shooting. “It makes me angry. He could have been stopped.”
Breakdown in Maine is a FRONTLINE production with Storyboard Studios LLC. The director is Bronwyn Berry. The producer is James Blue. The writers are Bronwyn Berry and James Blue. The journalists from the Portland Press Herald are Julia Arenstam and John Terhune; and from Maine Public, Steve Mistler and Susan Sharon.

FRONTLINE investigates the Assad regime’s arrest, torture and execution of detainees during the Syrian war.
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate.
Six months after the fall of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, more than 100,000 of the 1 million people detained by Assad’s regime during the Syrian war are still unaccounted for. What is known about the brutal system of detention, torture and killing under which they disappeared?
“Syria’s Detainee Files” documents the search for answers and accountability, shedding new light on atrocities under Assad through stunning testimony of former regime insiders and officers who carried them out, alongside the accounts of people who survived them.
The documentary follows Shadi and Hadi Haroun, two brothers who survived torture and almost a decade of imprisonment. Shadi says, “I lost 10 years of my life because of someone’s decision. Simply, ‘Erase ten years of his life, from the smallest moments to the most important ones.’”
The film explores how many former officials — some of whom defected, and some of whom stayed loyal to the regime until the end — rationalize their actions, saying they were following the orders of a government that would have killed them otherwise.
Now that the Assad regime has fallen and there are calls for accountability, the film raises questions about who, in a vast system of people following orders, should be held responsible for the atrocities.
“Syria’s Detainee Files” is a BBC Current Affairs production for GBH/FRONTLINE and BBC. The producers are Amel Guettatfi, Saad Al Nassife and Sara Obeidat. The directors are Sasha Joelle Achilli and Sara Obeidat. The senior producer is Dan Edge. The editor-in-chief and executive producer of FRONTLINE is Raney Aronson-Rath.

The CDC has estimated that more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections happen each year in the U.S., killing more than 35,000 people annually.
The 2014 documentary “Outbreak at NIH” centered on the story of a young man who contracted an antibiotic-resistant infection called KPC during an outbreak at one of the country’s most prestigious research hospitals. His parents spoke out about what they experienced. “He had acquired other infections along the way, but they always had antibiotics that were used, and he was able to get through those infections,” his father said in the documentary. “We never thought that it would be an infection that couldn’t be cured.”
“Outbreak at NIH” was a FRONTLINE production with American University School of Communication’s Investigative Reporting Workshop. It was written and produced by Rick Young and Anthony Szulc. The correspondent was David E. Hoffman. The deputy executive producer of FRONTLINE was Raney Aronson-Rath. The executive producer of FRONTLINE was David Fanning.

Syria faces an uncertain trajectory in the wake of the toppling of President Bashar al-Assad after a nearly 14-year war that led to hundreds of thousands of deaths. The man who led the offensive to topple Assad — and now leads the fragile country — is Ahmad al-Sharaa, once known by his jihadist nom de guerre Abu Mohammad al-Jolani.
The geopolitical situation al-Sharaa is now shepherding Syria through is precarious. “Syria After Assad” examines how what happens in Syria under al-Sharaa’s rule could have consequential effects across the region and beyond, how al-Sharaa has wielded power so far and why the country is still deeply divided.
Although al-Sharaa has continually pledged unity and peace, members of the country’s minority groups — including the Kurds, the Druze and the Alawites — say they have been excluded and the latter fear retribution.
“The situation is very fluid; we just have to wait and see what happens,” Murhaf Jouejati, a Syrian academic and diplomat, says in the documentary. “We need to see this new administration be inclusive of all Syrians. We need to make sure that Syria will no longer be a center of terrorism.”
As “Syria After Assad” explores, the stakes are high for Syria’s people, the regional powers that have long engaged in deadly proxy battles in Syria, and the world.
James Jeffrey, a top diplomat in the region during the Bush, Obama and first Trump administrations, says, “What happens in Syria impacts all of the Middle East.”

We speak with the European Union's ambassador about the U.S.-EU trade deal and implications for the global economy. Plus, Ben and Jerry's ice cream shows how a new recycling process can turn food waste into energy.
