Movie: The Passenger

Also known by its original title in Italian "Professione: Reporter".

A friend and I are both fans of Ryszard Kapuściński, a Polish journalist, who in my opinion is like the Shakespeare of journalism. According to Salman Rushdie "One Kapuściński is worth more than a thousand whimpering and fantasizing scribblers. His exceptional combination of journalism and art allows us to feel so close to what Kapuściński calls the inexpressible true image of war". Interestingly enough, Kapuściński expressed that he wrote for "people everywhere still young enough to be curious about the world." So, no need to be some scholar to read him, you just need to enjoy the written word, but if for some reason you'd like to enjoy something in film, my friend proposed "The Passenger", a movie by Michelangelo Antonioni starring Jack Nicholson, who plays a character based on Kapuściński.

These are a few scenes from the movie... just be aware that there is one that shows an execution that may be disturbing for some.
