"Press Pass to the World" follows a cast of respected journalists through the challenging, adventurous task of foreign reporting for some of the world's leading newspapers. From Havana's squalid streets to Hong Kong's electric skyline, filmmaker Craig McCourry travels the world chasing the story of the original story-chasers. For these journalists, foreign reporting is less of a job than it is a calling, and their daily conflicts prove that the first draft of history is often the most difficult to write. Driven by their search for truth, the mystery behind their work becomes less about HOW these journalists get the story than WHY they do what they do. "Press Pass to the World" is a whimsical and poignant look at a way of life that is about more than chasing stories -- it's about pursuing dreams.
