The first hero in American broadcasting, Edward R. Murrow forever set the industry gold standard through his unparalleled courage, integrity and newsgathering excellence. This deluxe 4-DVD set chronicles and explores the groundbreaking career of the beloved commentator and is presented by some of Murrow's celebrated disciples, including Walter Cronkite, Mike Wallace and Dan Rather. This Reporter Murrow's stunning triumphs, his legendary impact on broadcast journalism and his on-going legacy come to life in this candid portrait. Peter Jennings and Ted Koppel reflect on the career of a man whose hunger for the truth set the standard for television news reporting. The Best Of "See It Now" In this impressive collection of segments from one of TV's most revolutionary documentary series, Murrow pays a visit to soldiers in the Korean War, tracks the civil rights movement in the South, and profiles Grandma Moses in her living room. The McCarthy Years This gripping program recounts how the incorruptible Murrow bravely and controversially challenged Senator Joseph McCarthy and his abuses of power during a time of blacklists and witch-hunts for alleged communists. Harvest Of Shame Richly photographed and arrestingly poignant, this Murrow classic about the alarming plight of migrant farm workers is one of the most famous television documentaries of all time. |
