This important film explores the world of Nicholas Kristof, the two-time Pulitzer Prize winning columnist for the New York Times who almost single-handedly put the crisis in Darfur on the world map. The film puts the viewer in Kristofs pocket, revealing the man and his methods, and just how and why real reporting is vital to our democracy, our world-awareness, and our capacity to be a force for good. Nicholas knows that statistics deaden his readers' interest and compassion so he goes in search of individuals whose stories will reflect the country's desperate crisis and mobilize readers worldwide. He journeys through ravaged villages and displacement camps, and makes a harrowing visit to Congo's reigning rebel warlord, General Nkunda, at his jungle hideout.
