Peter Berg - the Director of "Breakthrough: Fighting Pandemics"




Peter Berg (director-screenwriter) has enjoyed success as a writer, director, producer and actor.

His directorial film credits include “Hancock,” “The Kingdom,” “The Rundown,” and “Battleship.” Berg wrote and directed “Lone Survivor,” the film adaptation of Marcus Luttrell’s gut-wrenching true tale of an ambush by Taliban forces in Afghanistan that killed Luttrell’s three Navy SEAL comrades and nearly cost him his own life.



Based off his 2004 film of the same name, he created the widely acclaimed television series “Friday Night Lights” in 2006. The Emmy award winning series ran for five years chronicling the ever-present role of high school football in small town Texas. Berg created and executive produced the HBO boxing documentary series’ “On Freddie Roach.” Currently he executive produces and serves as moderator for his sports documentary series “State of Play” on HBO.

Peter is currently in post-production on the film “Deepwater Horizon,” starring Mark Wahlberg, Kurt Russell and John Malkovich. Current television projects include the HBO series “The Leftovers” starring Justin Theroux and Liv Tyler and “Ballers” starring Dwayne Johnson.
