Storyline

The film takes place against the backdrop of the war in Chechnya; a particularly bloody conflict which has now been forgotten by most of the world. But this could be any war, in any country. As I reflect on the motives which drove these people – people I knew and admired – to risk everything to tell the world what was happening in this inhospitable mountain enclave, I offer a fascinating insight into the peculiar psychology of war reporters: contemporary heroes whose business is death, and who have to face up to their own mortality every time they go to work.
