Murph: The Protector, an intimate and in-depth feature-length documentary, airs on the Sporstman Channel Thursday and Friday, Sept. 4-5 at 7 p.m. ET.
The film is based on Lt. Michael Murphy, a Navy Seal who was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, America’s highest military honor, in 2007.
The mission that cost Lt. Murphy his life in 2005 in Afghanistan was the subject of the film Lone Survivor starring Mark Wahlberg. Taylor Kitsch portrayed Lt. Murphy in the film.
“Murph: The Protector is an emotional rollercoaster that documents the life of a true American hero,” said Graig Hale, vice president of business development for Sportsman Channel.
The documentary is part of the Sportsman Channel’s Salute to Service initiative, a multimedia effort to celebrate American servicemen and women.
“A lot of people say things about people that passed away and they might be rightfully glorified. Anything that has been said about Mike is spot-on true … he really was a protector,” reminisced childhood friend James Emmerich.
