To mark its 20th anniversary, this documentary delivers a definitive, multilayered chronicle of AJE’s trajectory from a disruptive alternative to dominant Western news media to the globally consumed news source it is today.

The film seamlessly pairs an outside-in investigative lens with ground-up human testimony and internal insights.

The film reflects on AJE’s historic coverage of global conflicts, the climate crisis, genocide and more in a drastically changing media landscape, all while balancing difficult decisions regarding where to focus resources, battling stigma as state-funded media and weathering the targeting of the channel’s journalists and bureaus while trying to remain true to AJE’s core principles.

Two decades of AJE: Shaping media, amplifying unheard voices and driving global conversations.
