Documentaries Showcase Courage and Empathy of Journalists
Two new documentaries show us the important work of journalists.
One documentary focuses on Lynsey Addario, a war photographer who goes to dangerous places to take pictures.
She's been kidnapped and faces death, but keeps going to tell important stories.
The other documentary follows Seymour Hersh, an investigative reporter.
He digs deep to find stories the powerful want to hide.
Both show how journalists report on important issues and show their empathy for the people and world they cover.
Documentaries 'Love+War' and 'Cover-Up' highlight journalists at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Lynsey Addario's documentary chronicles her work as a war photographer.
Addario has covered conflicts in places like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Ukraine.
Seymour Hersh's documentary focuses on his career as an investigative reporter.
Both journalists demonstrate empathy while reporting on difficult topics.
