We’ve just received official word that Lucy Lawless’ director debut, the documentary Never Look Away, is set to arrive on UK cinema screens on 2nd December.
The film had a premiere at Sundance and then the Sundance Film Festival London this summer and tells the remarkable story of award-winning journalist, Margaret Moth.
A swashbuckling CNN combat camerawoman and trailblazing female icon; the unbelievable, yet entirely true, story of award-winning journalist, Margaret Moth, is brought to vivid light by acclaimed actress and activist, Lucy Lawless, in her directorial debut.
The film includes both testimonials from the people who knew and worked with Moth, and dramatic footage from the war zones she covered. Never Look Away delves into the life and work of an incredible woman, a true pioneer known for her tireless work to capture catastrophic events and atrocities on film, no matter the risk.
After her first assignment to cover the riots that followed Gandhi’s assassination in India, she would go on to travel to the heart of the most dangerous conflicts in the world including the Persian Gulf War, the Bosnian War and the 2006 Lebanon War. However, underneath her fearless persona, candid interviews with colleagues and family reveal a self-destructive and emotionally fraught woman who would struggle when anything got in the way of her appetite for adrenaline and efforts to document the worst of humanity.
The trailer is below.
