Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Lynsey Addario struggles to maintain family life in London while repeatedly risking her life on the frontlines, focusing on how women around the world are affected by war, disaster, political conflict & oppressive regimes.
Heart-stopping scenes and astonishing front-page photos are highlights of this National Geographic film, featuring moving accounts of the profound impact of Adarrio’s work to improve the lives of millions of women, a deep dive into what drives war reporters to put themselves in mortal danger in order to shine a light on injustice, and an unflinching examination of how women are judged far more harshly than men for prioritizing their careers over their families.
Having been kidnapped twice while on assignment, Addario is torn between her unwavering commitment to the essential work of journalism and the competing demands of motherhood, grappling with what it truly means to follow your calling when it threatens everything you love.
