Bearing Witness
A film by Marijana Wotton, Bob Eisenhardt, and Barbara Kopple

Synopsis:
[Bearing Witness] highlights five intrepid women journalists and their yearlong experiences in Iraq beginning in April 2003. The five journos are veterans of numerous global trouble spots, and their commitment resembles more a calling than a job. At a time when journalists are as likely to be targeted as protected and news is increasingly diluted, these women's dedication to reporting the horrors of war from the front lines is a validation of the Fourth Estate.

Reviews:
“…Wotton and Kopple catch the adrenaline rush of danger, the deep need to communicate to an uninformed public and the interminable exhaustion of racing from one untenable, unthinkable situation to the next.”
