war correspondent

As a war correspondent, I’ve met soldiers around the world — in Ukraine, Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon, as well as Israel — and the best of them do not celebrate death, even the deaths of their enemies.

One of the animating questions in a film about a war correspondent is “Why?”

The film sees Swinton play a war correspondent suffering from terminal cancer.

“It feels like being a war correspondent and saying, ‘Hey Army, can I have a Band-Aid?,’” he joked, then said that his foot had become infected and “hasn’t improved.”

Danger was not merely a risk she took in choosing to be a war correspondent but the reason for the choice in the first place.
