New York Times’ reporter Nicholas Kristof travels the world to find the single story that will make the rest of us care.
In his twice-weekly column, on his blog, and in his books, Nicholas Kristof takes a social problem and trains his focus as close-in as someone can get to find the single story that will make the rest of us care about what’s going on in other parts of the world.
It’s a method that’s been both criticized and praised, and which compelled filmmaker Eric Metzgar to make a documentary about Kristof.
That documentary, “Reporter,” debuts tonight on HBO. Full details about the documentary and airing time are available on HBO’s website.
Here’s the trailer:

I don’t have HBO either, but I first learned about this doc on NOW on PBS last week. You can check out clips from the doc, as well as an interesting interview with the filmmaker, here: http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/607/index.html↵ -
Thanks, Julie. Last year Nicholas Kristof e-mailed Dragons because his sons were interested in a program. Sadly, we couldn’t make it work. But gosh – I was star-struck when I saw his name in our database!

I had been anticipating HBO’s documentary on Kristof for quite some time, and the wait was definitely worth it! “Reporter” offered some real-time insight into the state of international reporting, as well as the situation in Congo. Two thumbs up!
