National Geographic's upcoming documentary delves into the life and experiences of war photographer Lynsey Addario, detailing her field work in various battle zones.
In the world of photography and documentary filmmaking, anticipation is building for the upcoming release of National Geographic's "Love+War." Directed by Oscar-winning filmmakers Jimmy Chin and Chai Vasarhelyi, known for their work on Free Solo and The Rescue, this documentary promises to be a compelling exploration of renowned photojournalist Lynsey Addario's life and work.
Addario, with over two decades of experience documenting the human cost of war in various countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Darfur, and Libya, has become a beacon of truth and resilience in the face of conflict. Her work often demands leaving her family behind for extended periods to witness and record history.
The documentary follows Addario as she documents the war in Ukraine while reflecting on her career. A newly released clip from the documentary shows Addario and her team taking cover during an attack in Ukraine, offering a raw and poignant glimpse into the challenges she faces in her pursuit of truth.
After the danger subsides, locals are shown continuing with their daily routines, including a child casually pedaling through the streets. These moments serve as a poignant reminder of the resilience of humanity amidst the chaos of war.
Joining the creative team is Kalum Carter, a photographer, filmmaker, creative director, and writer with over 10 years of experience in visual storytelling. Carter's work highlights the power of visual storytelling and fosters an appreciation for the impact of photography. He writes about photography and filmmaking, interviewing industry professionals, showcasing emerging talent, and offering in-depth analyses of the art form.
The documentary, titled "Love+War", has been officially selected for the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). It will have its world premiere at TIFF on September 7, 2025, and is scheduled for a New York premiere as part of the Atlantic Watch series at Metrograph on September 20, 2025.
For those who enjoy recent photography documentaries such as "Photographer" and "The Wild Ones", "Love+War" might also be of interest. However, no official release date has been announced yet.
As we eagerly await the release of "Love+War", we are reminded of the power of photography and storytelling to illuminate the human experience, even in the darkest of times. This documentary promises to be a testament to Addario's unwavering commitment to truth and her ability to capture the essence of humanity in the midst of conflict.
