National Geographic have revealed the official Trailer for their upcoming documentary Love + War about fearless photojournalist Lynsey Addario.
Love + War is directed by award winning duo Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin (Free Solo, The Rescue). I’m a photographer but only at the enthusiast level, those on a professional level have given us some of the most powerful imagery ever. New York Times Photographer Lynsey Addario is one of them, capturing photographs from war and conflict zones from around the world. The Middle East to Ukraine, this film documents her life in what is a male dominated industry. Balancing conflict, motherhood and commitment to her job.
Love+War chronicles Pulitzer Prize-winning Lynsey Addario’s ascent in the male-dominated world of conflict photography. But 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.
Love+War which releases in UK and Irish cinemas on Friday 24th October. The documentary will air on National Geographic on 6th November. It will be available on Disney+ starting 7th November.
