War - what is it good for. Now there are many wars - even as I write this lines, there are wars going on. Most of the conflicts, depending on where in the world you are, you might not even hear about. News are grim in general, talking about ongoing wars (in Africa for example like in this movie) is not something people in Europe, America or certain other parts of the world want to know about.

I'm speaking generally of course, because there are folks who are not only interested but want to help. Are they helping by going there and taking pictures, to circle back to my summary line? Or are they part of the problem too ... there are many moral questions you may have and the movie raises some of them, by way of one very well known photographer (as I found out by watching the movie). The movie will not give you easy answers and intercutting, real footage and stills from the photographer only heightens the reality and the anguish those involved are in.

Not an easy movie to watch at all and certainly not paced for those who are looking to be entertained ... just be aware what you let yourself into. The acting is really good btw and the movie does almost feel like a documentary.
