Pero alega continuar en su esfuerzo por ejercer de investigador y testigo neutral de los hechos a pesar de los riesgos. Este documental intenta hacer un retrato de su persona y su trabajo.
The prestigious but also maligned British reporter Robert Fisk has been covering the crises in the Middle East for decades. Based in Beirut, he tries to expose to the public opinion his version of events collected on the ground and reasonable doubts about the official versions, as if he would act as an uncomfortable voice of conscience. His defense of massacred Palestinian civilians and his attack on Israeli colonialism have earned him fierce criticism. But he claims to continue in his effort to act as an investigator and neutral witness to the events despite the risks. This documentary tries to make a portrait of his person and his work.
