"Press
Pass to the World" follows a cast of respected journalists through the
challenging, adventurous task of foreign reporting for some of the world's
leading newspapers. From Havana's squalid streets to Hong Kong's electric
skyline, filmmaker Craig McCourry travels the world chasing the story
of the original story-chasers. For these journalists, foreign reporting
is less of a job than it is a calling, and their daily conflicts prove
that the first draft of history is often the most difficult to write.
Driven by their search for truth, the mystery behind their work becomes
less about HOW these journalists get the story than WHY they do what they
do. "Press Pass to the World" is a whimsical and poignant look at a way
of life that is about more than chasing stories -- it's about pursuing
dreams.
Filmed
on location in New Delhi, Hong Kong, Seoul, Washington, D.C., Havana and
Vienna with foreign correspondents employed by The New York Times, Chicago
Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Time Magazine, The International Herald Tribune,
The Times of India, The Jerusalem Post, Reuters, Agence France-Presse
and others.
