Notes:	Reporters Without Borders, BETC agency and BIRTH Productions send a strong reminder of the mission behind journalists' work: allowing everyone access to the facts. Now more than ever, it is crucial to be informed and have access to facts. To combat this, journalists must do their job with awareness of these challenges. Journalists all over the world defend minorities, protect the environment and denounce police violence and corruption. Reporters Without Borders defends those that help us understand the world and take action against injustice. With agency BETC, directed by Vincent Rodella, the production company Birth and the post production studio Mathematic, Reporters without Borders' new film shows four examples of situations only journalists can shed light on: a prisoner held in conditions unworthy of human dignity, exhausted migrants, a young woman forced into an unwanted marriage, and rows of bodies of COVID-19 victims lined up on an ice rink. The victims of these harrowing scenes gradually disappear, leaving an empty shot. The film reminds us of a harsh truth: reality only exists if someone reports it.
