Most recently, O'Brien produced a documentary examining the Bush Administration track record dealing with the environment titled “Broken Government: Scorched Earth.” The program offered viewers proof the federal government has abandoned commitments to enforce the Endangered Species and Superfund Acts while stifling scientists who do not “toe the line.”
O'Brien was the first CNN correspondent to produce a documentary on global warming, earning awards from the Society of Environmental Journalists and Overseas Press Club for “Melting Point.” The project took him from the inundated islands of Tuvalu in the South Pacific to Kivalina in Northwest Alaska.
O'Brien anchored CNN's DuPont and Peabody Award-winning coverage of the landfall of Hurricane Katrina. He followed up with a series of reports probing the failures of the federal government to address the environmental consequences of extensive flood control projects in the Mississippi Delta.
An experienced instrument-rated pilot and aircraft owner, O’Brien is also the network's space and aviation correspondent. He led CNN's coverage of the loss of the space shuttle Columbia in February of 2003—reporting live for 16 consecutive hours—and has garnered numerous awards for outstanding space coverage over the years.

Since its overwhelming success on Broadway forty years ago, HAIR: Let the Sun Shine In has inspired generations with its messages of love, non-violence and liberation. This definitive and entertaining documentary highlights the continuing relevance of the show and its radical, transformative power. In preparation for its fortieth anniversary, the show’s author and co-creator Jim Rado rehearses a troupe of young performers for a new production whose vibrant energy brings HAIR's fantastic score to life once again. A wealth of archival footage covers US and international productions as well as conveys a portrait of an era, a generation and its politics. Original interviews and new segments feature Milos Forman, Keith Carradine, Ben Vereen, Melba Moore, author James Rado, composer Galt MacDermot, director Tom O’Horgan and others. With the US today again mired in a prolonged and unpopular war, HAIR inspires a new generation with its cry for peace, love and change.
