Film Screenings: Breaking News, Breaking Down

October 3, 2009
6:15pm

This short documentary, directed by former TV reporter and 2005 Ochberg Fellow Mike Walter, features interviews with a range of journalists and experts from the Dart network.

The film grew out of a 2007 Dart Society project called Target: New Orleans that sent reporters to the Gulf Coast to lend a hand in post-Katrina reconstruction. The film interweaves this trip with reporters speaking candidly about the hardest stories they've covered and how, as Walter says, "breaking news can break you down."

More information about the Norrköping Filmfestival Flimmer can be found on the festival website.

The film will be screened with the documentary Mostar United at the Lilla Teatern at the following dates and times:

Saturday, Oct. 3, 6:15 p.m.
Tuesday, Oct. 6, 7:00 p.m.
Sunday, Oct. 11, 12:00 p.m.
