Live from Baghdad is a television movie produced in 2002 by HBO. Directed by Mick Jackson and written by Robert Wiener (based on the book by Robert Wiener).
Michael Keaton stars as CNN on-location producer Robert Wiener in Baghdad, Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War. The movie focuses on the news media's (primarily CNN's) coverage of the war. Fundamentally an action/drama, the characters grapple with the ethics and implications of 24-hour journalism in the days leading up to and during the United States led bombing of Baghdad.
