Enemy Image is a 2005 documentary film by Mark Daniels about the portrayal of warfare in television news.
[1][2][3] Narrated by Jessy Joe Walsh, the film includes archive footage of Peter Jennings, Morley Safer, Jon Alpert, Dan Rather, and Bernard Birnbaum in their news reporting on the various conflicts.
During this war the American government allowed reporters onto the battlefield with little supervision or control.
The theme of the film is the progressive tightening of control by the US military on the contact journalists have with soldiers and civilians in the war zone, in order that (as the film says at the end) "never again will television raise the moral and political questions that face a people at war."
The film premiered October 14, 2005 at the Sheffield International Documentary Festival,[4] and aired on Canadian television later in 2005.
