Description: LIVE FROM BAGHDAD starring MICHAEL KEATON, HELENA BONHAM CARTER Color Running time approximately 108 minutes LANGUAGE: English, Spanish SUBTITLES: English, French, Spanish In 1990-, CNN was a 24-hour news network in search of a 24-hour story. They were about to find it in Baghdad. Veteran CNN producer Robert Wiener and his longtime producing partner Ingrid Formanek find themselves in Iraq on the eve of war. Up against the big three networks, Wiener and his team are rebels with a cause, willing to take risks to get the biggest stories and -- unlike their rivals -- take them live at a moment's notice. As Baghdad becomes an inevitable US target, one by one the networks pull out of the city until only the crew from CNN remains. With a full-scale war soon to be launched all around them, and CNN ready to broadcast whatever happens 24 hours a day, Wiener and Formanek are about to risk their lives for the story of a lifetime. With George H W Bush prepared to strike Iraqi forces, CNN was in a unique position to deliver 24 hour coverage. Producers Robert Wiener (Michael Keaton) and Ingrid Formanek (Helena Bonham Carter) capitalized on this opportunity by offering unflinching reporting that risked their lives as they became correspondents from Baghdad just before the first U S Gulf War. Based on a true story that changed television journalism. SPECIAL FEATURES: Audio commentary with director Mick Jackson, Cast & Crew Bios "Four stars. Extraordinary.
