Publisher's Description
The great photojournalist Robert Capa said 'If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.' James Nachtwey has been close enough for over 20 years - a time period in which he has not missed a single war.
War Photographer follows Nachtwey for two years to hot spots including Kosovo, the West Bank, and Indonesia, as he searches for a picture he thinks he can publish. A film about a committed, shy man, who is considered one of the bravest and most important war photographers of our time - but hardly fits the cliche of the hard-boiled war veteran.
'Every minute I was there, I wanted to flee. I did not want to see this. Would I cut and run, or would I deal with the responsibility of being there with a camera?' -James Nachtwey
