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!

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!

Tim-
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

Alexis- I’d love to know what you think once you see it, particularly given your experience in Africa and your own work as a writer.
