NEW YORK PREMIERE

A TV reporter survives a tragic accident but must film a memorial portrait for a coworker who was killed in it. Delving into his colleague’s private life, he must rely on the deceased’s daughter, whose relationship with her father was more than bumpy. During three pre-Christmas days, the reporter becomes an involuntary witness to the girl’s struggle to come to terms with the loss of her dad, and he discovers that he didn’t really know the man he saw every day at work. Breaking News is an emotionally charged drama that asks whether we can really know another person, while deftly touching on the tendency of contemporary media to sensationalize human affairs.
