This was a hopeful Frontline. Coverage of democratization in Lebanon and the return of Liberia to peace. Particularly interesting was the interviews with people in Syria on the Iraqi border. The people there seemed shifty and real. I didn't feel like reporter or reportee were trying to insert a message. The messages were between the lines. The image of a US fort in Iraq with its flag raised high against nightly mortar attacks was pretty powerful. Its an image you've seen in 1000 movies but this one is real. |
