The Overseas Press Club of Cambodia presents documentaries about journalism. The HBO film THE JOURNALIST AND THE JIHADI (2006, 80 mins, English) chronicles the series of events and opposing cultural forces surrounding the shocking kidnapping and murder of humanist and Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl by radical Muslim militant Omar Sheikh. Directors Ahmed A. Jamal and Ramesh Sharma lead interviews with Pearl's family, friends and co-workers. Conversations with U.S. and Pakistani officials shed light on the motives behind the stunning tragedy and explore terrorism cross-culturally. The film is narrated by CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour.
