A Private War
Compelling drama based on the true story of one of the most celebrated war reporters of our time: Marie Colvin. With a standout performance by Rosamund Pike.
One of the most celebrated war correspondents of our time, Marie Colvin, is an utterly fearless and rebellious spirit, driven to the frontline of conflicts across the globe to give voice to the voiceless. She stood on battlefields in East Timor, Libya and Chechnya, where she revealed war crimes and personal suffering, and interviews rebel leaders and dictators. Together with war photographer Paul Conroy, she leaves for what might be the most dangerous mission yet in the besieged city of Homs, Syria.
Colvin was driven by a primaeval sense of being a reporter: seeking truth with a large dose of humanism. Despite the great offers that her work demanded, she continued to witness and report on “the truth”, even where others often feared to follow.
