2025 (USA)
Directed by: Jimmy Chin and Chai Vasarhelyi
From Academy Award®-winning filmmakers Jimmy Chin and Chai Vasarhelyi (FREE SOLO) comes this engrossing portrait of Pulitzer Prize-winning war photographer Lynsey Addario, who has spent decades documenting humanity at its most fragile and resilient — from the frontlines of Ukraine to the Middle East, Africa and beyond. With remarkable courage and a striking visual style, her lens captures both the brutality of war and the endurance of those living through it. Balancing her career and calling with her life as a wife and mother in London, Addario wrestles with the contradictions of a profession that constantly pulls her away from her two young children. When a male interviewer questions whether she should risk her life while raising kids, she retorts, “Do you ask men that question?” Weaving immersive frontline footage with moments of domestic life, the film presents a powerful meditation on family, sacrifice and the moral force of bearing witness.
