The Staple of News

About This Movie

So, 'The Staple of News' is an interesting documentary that kind of meanders through the history of journalism in Brazil, all while weaving in that old Ben Jonson play from 1625. The way the filmmakers use interviews with journalists from different generations gives it this layered feel—like you're not just hearing one side of things. There's a certain gravity in their voices as they discuss the pressures they face, the ethical dilemmas. It’s very reflective and maybe even a bit somber at times, fitting the weight of its themes. The pacing has this documentary rhythm, sometimes slow but that allows for contemplation. It's a distinctive look at the evolving role of media, which feels especially relevant these days.
