Synopsis

George Clooney's intimate, black-and-white paean to Edward R. Murrow''s brand of morally courageous journalism takes place in the period when the famed newsman (played by David Strathairn) took controversial steps to question Senator Joseph McCarthy''s Communist witch-hunt. Mixing evocative narrative footage with raw material from government hearings and newscasts, the film chronicles Murrow and news department head Fred Friendly''s (Clooney) efforts to expose McCarthy''s tactics despite pressures from advertisers, government, and their own network. With Robert Downey, Jr., Patricia Clarkson, and Frank Langella. "...a passionate, thoughtful essay on power, truth-telling, and responsibility" (A.O. Scott, The New York Times). George Clooney---USA---2005---90 mins.
