NOW talks with filmmaker Eric Metzgar about Reporter , his documentary about the international reporting trips of The New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof. In the film, Metzgar provides fascinating insight into how Kristof breaks through and gets us to think deeply about people and issues half a world away.
