Endangered

Beautifully crafted documentary on the dnagers faced by journalists in this age of disinformation and lies spread by social media. Heartbreaking analysis of the death of print journalism and small town newspapers. The film follows 2 photojournalists and 2 reporters in different parts of the world: Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, Miami and Washington DC. What transpires is the constant harassment journalists face from police, politicians who make them targets of hatred, and uninformed bigots living in their own echochamber. Masterfully shot and edited, the film is riveting, suspenseful and thought provoking. A must see film.

This documentary takes on a very important subject, the subtle and not so subtle attack on the press by power hungry politicians and those gullible enough to believe them. The film suffers from a lack of any narration that would stitch the disparate anti-press videos together. To me, it's as if the documentary was made to be shown to reporters alone as a kind of solidarity film. The film does leave no doubt as to the extremes politicians and others go to threaten and smear reporters. As an example, Bolsonaro of Brazil says of on one female reporter that she is "using her hole (sic) to get a story"

Wow! This documentary gives a good view of how tough the life of a reporter can be. They get abused, physically and emotionally, and keep on going. We are so fortunate there are still journalists who will go through such hard times to get the rich and powerful accountable for their actions.

Though the docu majorly focuses on the US ground journalism the reality is the same for all the current independent or ground journalist they are being oppressed and silent by the Govt and even by their own big media houses.. their social media handles being suited by the TV Media houses for showing the dirty reality of the Media Houses and their chumminess with he governing regime..

This propaganda would make Stalin jealous. How anyone still believes anything in the news, out of Hollywood, etc is beyond me.... What happened to the days of Cronkite, when facts were presented and the viewer made his or her own opinion?
