Pulitzer Prize-winning Lynsey Addario has risked her life to capture the stark realities of war — from the Middle East and Afghanistan to Ukraine. From National Geographic Documentary Films and Academy Award®-winning filmmakers Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin (FREE SOLO; MERU, CIFF2015, THE RESCUE, CIFF 2021), LOVE+WAR chronicles Addario’s ascent in the male-dominated world of conflict photography.

But her work comes at a steep personal cost — each assignment means stepping into danger and leaving behind her husband and two young sons. Behind the camera, Addario is torn between her unwavering commitment to the essential work of journalism and the powerful, competing demands of motherhood — grappling with what it truly means to follow your passion when it threatens everything you love.
