Michael Soussan is a whistleblower, LA-based screenwriter, producer, public speaker, journalist, author of Backstabbing for Beginners: My Crash Course In international Diplomacy, and founder of The Brown Journal of World Affairs at Brown University.

Michael became famous for writing a book about his experiences working for the Oil-for-Food Program under the United Nations in Iraq, where he uncovered the largest and most corrupt humanitarian operation in UN history. The book has since been made into a feature film by the same name Backstabbing for Beginners starring Ben Kingsley and Theo James, and directed by Per Fly Plejdrup. The movie is currently available on Amazon Prime.
