1:46 Words Of War
There’s an old joke amongst British soldiers about BBC war correspondent Kate Adie – they’d say they knew they were in trouble if she turned up on the scene. They’d probably say the same of Peter Arnett, our most famous war reporter. This former Southland boy has covered some of the most dangerous conflicts of the last fifty years, and while relentlessly pursuing what he sees as the truth behind the propaganda, has gotten right up the noses of governments around the world. Now a documentary team in Auckland wants to tell the truth about him. But they don’t yet have the money. Justin Gregory sat down with them to talk bombs, bullets – and big bucks.
