NEWSFRONT tells the story of the previously unsung newsreel cameramen, who raced to beat deadlines and dangers to capture on film, for a voracious audience of cinemagoers, the historic moments that were shaping a young nation. But their days were numbered, as a new technology called television threatened to bring the world into the living room instantaneously. (official distributor synopsis)
