From the invention of the first movie camera by the Lumières to the high-tech coverage of the Gulf War, this series traces the evolution of film and television broadcast journalism and its impact on our perception of world events. Each program provides an in-depth look at a different era in the growth and development of this controversial and fascinating industry.
