​
As a Vietnam veteran, Judson did not feel veterans were appropriately recognized for sacrifices in an unjust war. Therefore, he created and produced “The Vietnam Trilogy” which aired nationally on PBS, including 2017’s “Remembering Vietnam”, 2018’s “Return to Vietnam”—co-produced with VTV 3 in Hanoi, Vietnam, and “Vietnam: Aftermath and Redemption” in 2021.
Judson also produced and directed the 2019 documentary “Our Plastic World” which draws attention to plastic pollution
worldwide, with segments filmed in locations ranging from Athens and Savannah, Ga., and Long Island to Hawaii, Vietnam,
Antarctica and African.
In addition to Judson’s extensive film projects he was a journalism professor at Georgia State University and managing director of the GSU, a partnership with Georgia Public Broadcasting. Prior to GSU he was a professor of television production at Savannah College of Design (SCAD) in Atlanta.
Judson completed a 90:00 documentary in collaboration with Olympic historian and writer George Hirthler about the Atlanta 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, “The Games in Black & White,” through Atlanta Story Partners, the company Judson and Hirthler co-founded in 2020. The film is the first comprehensive look at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and the untold story of how its leadership harnessed the Games as an engine of social justice and economic opportunity for their community. It will be broadcast nationally on PBS in addition to being featured on Delta Air Lines flights beginning September 1, 2025.
Judson and his teams have earned six Southeast Regional Emmy Awards, a 2021 Southern Film Festival award, seven Cine
