LOVE+WAR - Co-directors Chai Vasarhelyi (Jimmy Chin) & Lynsey Addario

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Lynsey Addario has risked her life to capture the stark realities of war — from the Middle East and Afghanistan to Ukraine. From National Geographic Documentary Films and Academy Award® -winning filmmakers Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, “Love+War” chronicles Addario’s ascent in the male-dominated world of conflict photography. But her work comes at a steep personal cost — each assignment means stepping into danger and leaving behind her husband and two young sons. 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 passion when it threatens everything you love. Co-director Chai Vasarhelyi (Jimmy Chin) and subject Lynsey Addario join us to talk about Lynsey’s personal and professional story and why her profession and professionalism is so vital and relevant in keeping our collective eyes open to the insidious effects of war and the eternal power of love.
