His legendary interrogation tactics were used on the most important figures of the 20th century, and his showmanship changed the way TV news operated. Using a treasure trove of both classic and unseen footage, Mike Wallace Is Here explores what made Wallace tick, what motivated him, and how he was able to change the very art of broadcast journalism. "This is a time capsule - an expertly crafted time capsule - of an astonishing career." - Chicago Sun-Times "Belkin uses entirely existing footage to tell a story not just of a man's life but also the evolution of broadcast journalism. It's both a novel choice and a largely effective one." - Observer "The film makes the case that Wallace's dogged commitment to getting answers is journalism in its purest form, holding powerful public figures to account." - NPR Community Partners: Voice Over Nation, UWM Journalism, Advertising & Media Studies Share About Milwaukee Film Milwaukee Film is a nonprofit arts organization dedicated to entertaining, educating, and engaging our community through cinematic experiences.
