Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Nicholas Kristof has spent years trying to spotlight global poverty and human rights abuses in his New York Times column. Reporter follows him on a 2007 journey to the Congo where he once again focuses on the injustices and inequalities of the human condition. The film is a deft exploration of how journalists like Kristof grapple with effectively communicating such unimaginable tragedies to an audience reading about it over Sunday brunch. New York Premiere.
