Amanpour got her start working for
CNN in
Frankfurt,
Germany reporting on the
democratic revolutions sweeping Eastern Europe at the time. Her coverage of the
Gulf War in
1990 led to Amanpour's rise in prominence as an international correspondent. Since then she continued to report from many dangerous conflict zones including, most notably, the war in
Bosnia and the conflicts in
Darfur and the
Middle East. Amanpour's recent work has focused on a series of long-form programs that have aired on
CNN including:
God's Warriors,
The War Within,
Where Have All The Parents Gone? and
In the Footsteps of Bin Laden.
