DREI FRAUEN – EIN KRIEG
Germany, Italy 2022 – Director: Luzia Schmid – Original with German subtitles – Length: 106 min.
They were pioneers: as war correspondents, Martha Gellhorn, Margret Bourke-White and Lee Miller reported direct from the frontlines during the second world war and in doing so were among the first women in history to cast their gaze on the “male craft” of war. An impressive film about the horrors of war composed exclusively of their writing, photographs and film footage shot by the allies. Monika Haas
