“We’’re not trying to tell people how to think, we’re just bringing up a factual piece and raising a debate.”
– George Clooney

Back in 2002 film superstar George Clooney surprised a good chunk of the world with his directorial debut Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Now he’’s generating major Oscar buzz for his latest effort, Good Night, and Good Luck.

The film chronicles the real-life conflict between television newsman Edward R. Murrow, Senator Joseph McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee, starring David Strathairn as Murrow and Clooney himself as Fred Friendly, Murrow’’s producer.

This film has major resonance with Clooney since his father Nick Clooney was a TV newscaster for many years and often invited George into the studios at the age of five.
