synopsis
What this film lacks in excitement it makes up for in accuracy as it tells the true story of European newspaper magnate Julius Reuter who changed the way news was sent and received by becoming the first major publisher to utilize telegraph wires. The story opens in 1833 not long after the telegraph's invention. Not many places use them as yet, so Reuter devises an ingenious way of getting news to and from different cities--he uses carrier pigeons. When he decides to make the switch to telegraph wires, his loyal wife supports him all the way.
