Through the streets of war-torn Syria and along the West Bank barrier, this film follows the controversial and legendary war reporter Robert Fisk. With a notebook in his hand and carrying a satchel, we are introduced to a man who has been reporting from hotspots around the world for more than 40 years. In a calm and succinct manner, Fisk tells the stories of the victims and scrutinizes the epicenter of power. Through archival clips, interviews, and shots from his work in the field, a complex character appears before us, a man both praised and criticized, who shows us the uglier sides of the world, and who – as the title suggests – tirelessly insists that what we see is indeed not a movie.
