Over the course of three decades, one woman in Philadelphia taped CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and other news programs for 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Leveraging his mutual contacts, Wolf connected with Stokes’ son, Michael Metelits. Wolf soon traveled to Philadelphia to meet Metelits and Frank Hileman, Stokes’ assistant and secretary. Metelits, her son, says the recording began with Ted Koppel’s “Nightline” series about the Iranian hostage crisis. In the end, he only digitized 100 of the tapes and says those 700 hours are “a tiny scratch into the surface of what's there.”
“That material truly doesn't exist anywhere. It tells us so much about who we were and how the world became what it is today,” he says. “That kind of information and insight into who we are, it doesn't exist except in a collection like this.” Metelits thinks his mother would have mixed feelings about Wolf’s film because of her internal conflict surrounding privacy.
