Review of Live from Baghdad (2002) by Heather V — 05 Apr 2008

Aside from HBC looking possibly more gorgeous than ever, this movie deserves major credit for truly capturing a moment in history that I remember well. The fear of what was in store for us in January 1991, and the sudden 24/7 access we had to the stories as they happened in Baghdad, are brilliantly put to film here.

Carter, Keaton and the whole cast are mesmerizing. It took me back, right to the early days of CNN addiction during times of crisis, and made me realize how much (or little?) has changed since then. A few truly chilling moments, too.

See it.
