This 1983 movie is about a reporter who will doing anything to make sure the truth is exposed. Though the film is largely fictional, it was inspired by the murder of ABC reporter Bill Stewart and his translator Juan Espinosa by Nicaraguan National guard troops. ABC cameraman Jack Clark was shooting "incidental" footage and caught the entire episode on tape. The footage was shown on national television in the United States and became a major international incident, undermining what remained of dictator Anastasio Somoza's support. This movie just shows how far journalist are willing to expose the truth.
