Two-time ACADEMY AWARD® winner Barbara Kopple (Harlan County, USA; Wild Man Blues; The Hamptons), three-time EMMY AWARD® winner Bob Eisenhardt and Marijana Wotten follow five female journalists into the line of fire during the War in Iraq and other perilous assignments in this riveting documentary.

BEARING WITNESS tells the stories of intrepid reporters who take substantial personal risks as they cover the world's hot spots. These women provide a unique view of life inside Iraq told from a firsthand perspective that doesn't make it to our televisions. Their stories take the audience on an important journey into the often intense, personal, dramatic and compelling stories that too often go unnoticed. Experience the risks taken and the personal toll the field takes on the reporters willing to brave the world's war zones.
