Reporter (2009, 92 mins)
A unforgettable portrait of New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, who almost single-handedly sounded the alarm call for the world about genocide in Darfur. Reporter follows Kristof on a harrowing trip to Congo, where a decade of instability and warfare has left 5.4 million innocent people dead of starvation, disease, and violence. Reporter introduces us to some of those people, and some of the warlords responsible. Marked by Metzgar's stunning cinematography and thoughtful first person narration, Reporter elevates our understanding of what it makes to look at human suffering while pondering the future of journalism, the psychology of compassion, and the ethical responsibilities of the documentarian.
