Introduction to the Film
“A tremendously effective salute to Tim” - The Hollywood Reporter
A powerful documentary about Jesuit-educated photojournalist, Tim Hetherington, who was ‘killed at work’ in Libya in 2012. Tim had travelled the world documenting conflicts in Afghanistan, Liberia and Libya, among other locations. Best known for his 2010 film, 'Restrepo', which was nominated in the documentary category for an Academy Award, Tim’s photography always strived to capture the humanity within conflict situations and his images focused on the individuals involved and their experiences of the violence surrounding them. Unfortunately, in 2011 Tim was killed by a mortar blast and this film is a tribute and celebration of the legacy he has left behind and includes interviews with those who knew him best. A recent exhibition of Tim’s photo work was shown at the Imperial War Museum in London.
