00:00This woman is dying. I didn't catch her name. We've seen so many people like her. It's hard
00:10to keep caring. You'll see. I hope they'll accept her at the hospital. I wonder if Nick
00:14will write a column about her. Nicholas Kristof, that is, the journalist for the New York Times
00:18that we've been traveling around with, or rather struggling to keep up with. He truly
00:24never stops. You'll see. It's stunning here, a palette of primary colors. Stunning and
00:29shocking, and this permanent stench. It smells like burnt something, like the people here
00:33threw clothes and rocks on the grill long after they ran out of food. It's hard to concentrate
00:38here. There's so much tension and suffering. Welcome to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
00:45Nick is on a mission. There's no question about that, but I question his methods. You might
00:49too. I can't quite figure him out. He's relentless. He told me he wants to make his readers uncomfortable,
00:54and it seems to be working. His impact is impressive, beyond impressive, but his job
00:58seems so simple. He just walks into the worst nightmares and shines his big light. You'll
01:03see. I don't know how he concentrates. The fear of men with guns is scrambling my mind.
01:08We drove four hours into the bush to see the reigning warlord, General Nakunda. Big smile,
01:13manic eyes. But it's too easy to call him evil. He fights for God, for land, for minerals,
01:19for ideas, and all the violence trickles down to her. I'm starting to understand Nick's methods.
01:24She's almost out of life. Where is this hospital? If it's your first time here, something breaks
01:29in you that can't be fixed. It's all in the eyes. Good people, and 5.4 million of them
01:33have died here in the last decade. That can't be right. Why didn't I know? This ride is taking
01:39forever. This is infuriating. Stay focused on the mission, the story. Nick goes to Congo.
01:44He writes a column. I make a film. You read his column. You watch my film. Then what?
02:14Then what? You read his column. You try to do it. That can't be right. If you read in
02:26the same place. I love to write him as if not. I hate him as if he wen got . So verg her?
02:32Then just me. He is always in his pen. That way. If he's not there again. He is just
02:35a thing. So I guess what the fire set was good. Like for the fire buzzer. I won't
