HDNet always interested in AVS'ers reviews-
HDNet World Report" will present an exclusive look inside the conflict currently taking place in Georgia. "HDNet World Report: Under Siege" will go beyond the current mainstream reporting of merely the violence and diplomatic posturing, to detail the roots of this conflict and to give these events critical context.
HDNet World Report, already in country to report on the tensions before the latest hostilities broke out, had exclusive access to the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abhkazia, which are now at the center of this fighting.
The program will also present exclusive footage of the UN mission in Georgia, the joint Georgian-American military maneuvers that were occurring just days before the Russian invasion, so-called Russian 'peacekeepers' in Abkhazia, and Abkhaz militias.
The HDNet World Report team was granted interviews with key Georgian officials, including Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili, and other principal figures in Abkhazia.
Cameraman Jason Maloney and producer/correspondent Kira Kay were in the Georgian capital of Tblisi when the war broke out, having interviewed Saakashvili only hours earlier. Maloney and Kay have won a 2008 RFK Journalism Award and been nominated for two Emmys this year for their work with World Report.
"HDNet World Report: Under Siege" airs on Tuesday, August 19 at 9:00 p.m. ET with a re-air at midnight ET to accommodate West Coast Prime Time.
