"Breaking News, Breaking Down," winner of the 2010 Cannes Independent Film Festival, is a revealing look at how journalists continually go after breaking news, from 9-11 to Katrina, never imagining the personal toll of reporting tragic events. This screening of the film will be followed by a discussion with journalist Mike Walter, the film's creator.

About Mike Walter: Before starting his own production company, Mike Walter anchored the morning news at WUSA in Washington, D.C.; was a senior correspondent at USA Today; and has been an anchor and reporter in Tampa, Kansas City, St. Louis and Columbus, Ohio. A winner of four Emmy Awards, Walter is an adjunct professor at the University of Maryland. Read more about Mike here.
