With the Palestinian conflict exploding with grotesques violence and brutality, the premature death of Robert Fisk is felt with renewed regrets. We need a voice of intelligent historical precision like his now more than ever.

The film will be introduced by Nelofer Pazira-Fisk producer of the film. Nelofer is an Irish-based Afghan-Canadian journalist and filmmaker. She spent 20 years living in the Middle East with Robert Fisk.

This Is Not a Movie: Robert Fisk and the Politics of Truth


For more than forty years, British journalist Robert Fisk has reported on some of the most violent conflicts in the world, from Northern Ireland to the Middle East, always with his feet on the ground and a notebook in hand, travelling into landscapes devastated by war, ferreting out the facts and sending reports to the media he works for with the ambition of catching the interest of an audience of millions.
