War photographer

A film about the American photographer James Nachtwey, about his motivation, his fears and his daily routine as a war photographer. Swiss author, director and producer Christian Frei followed James Nachtwey for two years into the wars in Indonesia, Kosovo, Palestine... Christian Frei used special micro-cameras attached to James Nachtwey's photo-camera. In one of the world's countless crisis areas, surrounded by suffering, death,violence and chaos, photographerJames Nachtwey searches for the 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 cliché of the hard-boiled war veteran.
