The Troubles We've Seen: A History of Journalism in Wartime

Synopsis

The unlikely setting of the Holiday Inn in Sarajevo provides the focus of Marcel OPHÜLS’ exploration of journalistic ethics during wartime. From this base, OPHÜLS and his camera follow international world-renown journalist as they get on with the business of filtering and selecting the day’s news in the troubled city before it becomes tomorrow’s Fish’n Chip paper. Amongst those subject to OPHÜLS’ incisive interview skills include Pulitzer Prize winner John Burns of the New York Times and other luminaries from the precarious world of war reporting.
