Film Series 2006
January 8, 2006 - Good Night, And Good Luck
takes place during the early days of
broadcast journalism in 1950's America. It chronicles the real-life
conflict between television newsman Edward R. Murrow and Senator Joseph
McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee. With a desire
to report the facts and enlighten the public, Murrow, and his dedicated
staff - headed by his producer Fred Friendly and Joe Wershba in the CBS
newsroom - defy corporate and sponsorship pressures to examine the lies
and scaremongering tactics perpetrated by McCarthy during his communist
'witch-hunts'. A very public feud develops when the Senator responds by
accusing the anchor of being a communist. In this climate of fear and
reprisal, the CBS crew carries on and their tenacity will prove historic
and monumental.
