Acts of Kindness

From: World Vision Report
Series: Stories from the World Vision Report
Length: 03:13

During the last four decades, foreign journalists were more or less banned from reporting from Libya. And inside the country, Moammar Gaddafi’s government kept tight control of Libyan journalists and dictated what the state media could cover. When the recent revolutionary movement began, foreign journalists started to enter the country from the east, near the rebel capital of Benghazi. The World Vision Report’s Bonnie Allen was one of them, and in this Reporter’s Notebook, she tells us how journalists were warmly welcomed by the people, even under difficult circumstances. Read the full description.
