Love+War

Synopsis

Chronicling Pulitzer Prize-winning Lynsey Addario’s ascent in the male-dominated world of conflict photography. Her work is dangerous. She’s been kidnapped twice while on assignment in war zones - a cost she must wrestle with each time she leaves her husband and two sons to go on assignment. Behind the camera, Addario is torn between her unwavering commitment to the essential work of journalism and the powerful, competing demands of motherhood, grappling with what it truly means to follow your calling when it threatens everything you  love.
