    I watched the movie a Private War recently and dug in to who Marie Colvin was. I appreciate all journalists willing to sacrifice access to liars and report the truth. So kudos. Chilling the free press will lead to moral people finding the will and the courage to speak out.

    Finally watched A Private War, thought it was messy & lacking in insight. Eg, it could’ve told us so much more about PTSD but seemed to lurch between set pieces instead Weirdly, Jamie D is a photographer IRL but didn’t look like one in the movie somehow (compare with actors in Civil War) #movies

    I came across 'A Private War' last night on Prime, so I decided to watch it. I don't know how I missed this movie, but it's really good - based on a true story as well. Highly recommended if you haven't watched it. 🎥 #movies

    Not a patch on Under the Wire but still pretty solid > Anderson Cooper: Why is it important, do you think, to see these images? Why is it important for you to be there? Right now you may be one of the only Western journalists in Homs - our team has just left. > >Marie Colvin: Yes, I mean, I had a discussion with your people, Anderson. I feel very strongly that they should be shown. Something like that, I think, is actually stronger for an audience, for someone who is not here, for an audience…
