Review – War & Truth

For the first three quarters or so this is a reasonably good documentary about war correspondents. Through interviews and archive footage, the filmmakers tell some fascinating tales about how combat journalism worked in World War Two, Vietnam and the Iraq Wars. Unfortunately they just can’t stop themselves, and the last 15 minutes turn into a lament about the death of democracy in the post-journalism world. Preachiness aside, this is worth a look for anyone interested in the subject. Mildly amusing
