Chad Cohen

Emmy Award-winning producer, writer, director, and correspondent Chad Cohen spent four years overseeing development of National Geographic’s new multi-night PBS documentary The Greeks. The series follows archaeologists, historians, scientists, and actors on a groundbreaking exploration of the ancient Greeks' journey to greatness, revealing how they changed their world and laid the foundations for so much of what we still hold dear today. 

In addition to National Geographic and PBS, Chad has also created documentary films for Smithsonian and the Discovery Channel. His stories have taken him around the world from the ancient temples of Egypt, Turkey, and Japan, to the jungles of India, Africa and the Amazon, to the bottom of the ocean in Alaska, Iceland, and Papua New Guinea.
