Oh my gosh I loved this movie. the husband and wife team go places and we see news we would have never seen because of them.

Great film about a family that started a business to cover news in Los Angeles, then realized they needed a helicopter to get to the story in time with all the traffic. They ended up covering the OJ Simpson white Ford Bronco chase and Rodney King Police Verdict riots in a stunning way. Aside from those highlights, the family dynamic is fascinating as they rode a great idea to tremendous success only to see their business ultimately implode when the TV network they worked with went in another direction and the family also pretty much imploded due to stress, abuse, and business failure. If you like Los Angeles or journalism, you will love this.

Very thorough, easy to follow and interesting story about a man pursuing breaking news stories to the exclusion of everything else. And what happened to his family life and his life as a result. A bit long and well worth watching. As an aside, if you saw the O J Simpson footage, this movie is about the man that was on his trail first and provided camera footage of the event.

Excellent relationship film with the backdrop of the major news stories in Los Angeles as told from a live helicopter by a husband & wife team. A must see!
