Stringers (2001)

A documentary about young freelance foreign correspondents, stringers, in Eritrea. Without much journalistic experience, they will report on the war between Eritrea and Ethiopia to a not very interested world. As stringers, they only get paid per item or article. The film provides a unique insight into the war correspondent's everyday life. The fight against local bureaucrats and the corpses that remain on the battlefield, extreme stress alternated with long times of waiting. A movie by Patrick Bratt.
