TV journalism that made history

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2006)

"Good night..." tells the story of the witch hunt for communists during Cold war, a witch hunt lead by senator Joseph McCarthy, and TV journalist Edward R. Murrow's struggle to reveal the senator's brutal methods.
Relatively unknown David Strathairn does the part of a lifetime, he is so convincing as chain smoking, brilliantly sharp Edward R. Murrows that he seems cut out some 50:s TV archive.
"Good night " is an intelligent movie that gets under your skin and makes you consider media's responsibility towards society. Who does journalists today really work for? Participant productions has done it again.
