His many TV specials and films includeBeyond Life: Timothy Leary Lives (1997), Countdown to Freedom: Ten Days that Changed South Africa (1994), narrated by James Earl Jones and Alfre Woodard,Sarajevo Ground Zero (1993), Mandela in America (1990), and The Making of Sun City (1990). For eight years a producer at ABC's20/20, where he won two National News Emmys, Schechter reported from 45 countries and lectured at many schools and universities.
