FRONTLINE/World

FRONTLINE/World

Each episode of FRONTLINE/World features two or three "short stories" told by a diverse group of reporters and video journalists. These first-person stories will take viewers on adventurous journeys to foreign lands from Argentina to Zimbabwe. Taking advantage of easily portable digital cameras, our correspondents roam widely, observe closely, and when necessary, film surreptitiously.

FRONTLINE/World is made possible by Shell. Major funding provided by the Skoll Foundation, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
