What makes an inexperienced photographer decide he wants to cover wars in the most dangerous parts of the planet?In this documentary, filmmaker Richard Parry follows photo-journalist Robert King from his first brush with war in the Balkans in his early twenties to his Time magazine shoots in Chechnya. King seems like a danger addict and yet craves peace. His early naivity transforms itself to deep cynicism. He seems traumatised, yet continues to work.This compelling portrait asks two powerful questions about war journalists: why do they do it and how do they survive it?
