Description
This film was developed to communicate the core of what CNN does: whenever, wherever breaking news happens, CNN goes there. To actually capture this reality, we turned to a real emerging story, the Syrian refugee migration in Europe. We filmed three parallel stories that come together to bring the news of the world into our homes. We follow Nima Elbagir, one of our core international correspondents, from the initial phone call, to meeting her cameraman, Sebastian Knoops, in Idomeni, Greece. At the same time, we see Wolf Blitzer, a core CNN anchor making his way in to the D.C. Bureau to globally broadcast the story. From there we see Nima and Sebastian dealing with the weather, the human struggle, the frustration, and the sadness. They listen to the story and then set up to broadcast with Wolf to the world that is watching.
