Atlantic Watch: Love + War

For the latest iteration of Atlantic Watch—a series of exclusive feature-film, television-series, and documentary screenings hosted by The Atlantic—Metrograph and The Atlantic present the New York premiere of National Geographic’s new documentary portrait of the Pulitzer Prize–winning photographer Lynsey Addario, Love+War, followed by a post-screening conversation with Addario and the film’s director, Chai Vasarhelyi.

"The Pulitzer Prize–winning photographer Lynsey Addario has risked her life to capture the stark realities of war—in places including the Middle East, Afghanistan, and Ukraine. From National Geographic Documentary Films and the Academy Award® winning filmmakers E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, Love+War reveals 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." —National Geographic Films
