The contentious nexus of war and journalism serves as the focus of this documentary exploring the evolution of war reportage in the era of a free press and spreading democracy. From Caesar's accounts of Rome's wars in Gaul to the firsthand accounts of Napoleon and Winston Churchill, it was soldier scribes who originally assumed the responsibility of relaying the action on the battlefield. As journalism began to evolve, however, civilian reporters offered a unique perspective on battle that radically altered common perception of combat. In this film, the viewer is taken all the way back to the Civil War to inspect Matthew Brady's disturbing images before moving into modern times to explore the scripted briefings that took place during the first Gulf War and speak with the "embedded" reporters who were there to cover the second. In the process, the stories of such noted pioneers as William Russell and Walter Cronkite highlight just how drastically war coverage has changed throughout the centuries. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Media saturation might have dampened enthusiasm for the electoral process, but the fact is that the 2000 Presidential race was one for the history books. For 36 days, the executive branch lacked a future leader as Florida became mired in details. Like all news agencies, CNN stepped up coverage in an attempt to explain the complicated and often tedious proceedings. CNN: Election 2000 -- 36 Days That Gripped the Nation is a wrap-up of the whole debacle featuring behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with reporters involved, including Julie Woodruff, Bernard Shaw and Larry King. ~ Sarah Ing, All Movie Guide
