In addition to Brokaw's work for NBC as a newscaster, he has also created  documentaries series for the organization. In 1989, Brokaw was awarded his first Peabody award for  ''To Be An American'', a documentary about the history of the American  people. Brokaw's work in Georgia during the civil rights movement came in handy when in 1997 he produced ''Why Can't We Live Together'', a documentary about racial separation in America's suburbs. He won an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award for Excellence in Broadcast Journalism for the documentary. After September 11, 2001, Brokaw began work on another documentary: in 2003 he released, ''America Remembers: 9/11 Air Traffic Controllers''. This documentary, which later won an Emmy for Outstanding Interview, consisted of interviews that Brokaw had done with twenty air traffic controllers who dealt with the four hijacked planes. Brokaw examined [[Affirmative Action]] in a documentary he released in 2004, ''Tom Brokaw Reports: A Question of Fairness''. This documentary won numerous awards including the Peabody award. In 2005, after giving up his post as anchor, Brokaw returned to prime time television with an hour-long documentary, ''Tom Brokaw Reports: The Long War''. This documentary examined the United States war against terrorism after the September 11th attacks. In the documentaries creation Brokaw traveled the world – from [[Afghanistan]], [[Pakistan]], [[Iran]], [[Saudi Arabia]], [[France]] and [[Washington D.C.]] - to interview intelligence experts, world leaders and those personally affected by the attacks.  Brokaw again was able to use his past experience as a journalist in his creation of another documentary, ''The Secret Man: The Story of Watergate's Deep Throat'', in September 2005. In December 2005, Brokaw received praise for his new hour long documentary, ''Tom Brokaw Reports:  To War and Back'', which documented a wounded soldiers arrival back home<ref>MSNBC, “The War and Back, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10402820/</ref>.
