When Robert Fisk first watched Alfred Hitchcock’s Foreign Correspondent at the age of 12, he instantly realized that he wanted to pursue the protagonist’s profession for a living. Today, this fearless journalist who spent most of his adult life in the line of fire and had his name identified with the Middle East crisis reflects on his past and his methods before the camera of an experienced filmmaker. A film that glorifies the value of personal experience in the perpetual quest for truth, deemed more than necessary in the era of fake news.
