He won two Academy Awards, the first for Best Short Subject in 1955 for A Time Out of War that had served as his master's degree thesis at U.C.L.A. and which he co-scripted with his brother Terry Sanders; and the second for Best Documentary in 1970 for Czechoslovakia 1968. In 1958 he teamed up again with Terry to adapt Norman Mailer's World War II novel The Naked and the Dead. He was born in New York, New York and died in San Diego, California where he was professor and film maker in residence at San Diego State University from a heart attack.
