ABOUT THE FILM: “Press Pass to the World” follows a cast of respected journalists through the challenging, adventurous task of foreign reporting for some of the world’s leading newspapers. Driven by their search for truth, the mystery behind their work becomes less about HOW these journalists get the story than WHY they do what they do. “Press Pass to the World” is a whimsical and poignant look at a way of life that is about more than chasing stories — it’s about pursuing dreams.
Filmed on location in New Delhi, Hong Kong, Seoul, Washington, D.C., Havana and Vienna with foreign correspondents employed by The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Time Magazine, The International Herald Tribune, The Times of India, The Jerusalem Post, Reuters, Agence France-Presse and
others. The film is 58 minutes long.
Kasper Zeuthen, International Correspondents Committee Chairman of the National Press Club says of the film, “It’s an inspiring journey behind the byline.”
Marc Lavine, Los Angeles Bureau Chief of Agence France-Presse calls it “the real life version of ‘The Year of Living Dangerously’, complete with exotic stories, characters and locations.”

ABOUT THE AMERICAN CINEMA FOUNDATION
The American Cinema Foundation was founded in 1994 by a group of Hollywood writers and producers who were
troubled by their perception that in American filmmaking, all too often the choice of moral or historical perspectives is limited. The project they
started is now in its eleventh year.
