Dir: Lucy Lawless
85 mins

A swashbuckling CNN combat camerawoman and trailblazing female icon, the unbelievable yet entirely true story of award-winning journalist Margaret Moth is brought vividly to life by acclaimed actress and activist Lucy Lawless in her directorial debut.

An inspirational and unflinching biography, Never Look Away combines heartfelt testimonials from those who knew and worked with Moth, along with dramatic footage from the war zones she courageously covered. The film delves deep into the life and work of this incredible woman—a true pioneer who risked everything to capture catastrophic events and atrocities on film.

From her first assignment covering the riots following Gandhi’s assassination in India, Moth went on to report from some of the world’s most perilous conflicts, including the Persian Gulf War, the Bosnian War, and the 2006 Lebanon War. Despite her fearless on-camera persona, candid interviews with colleagues and family unveil a self-destructive and emotionally fraught side, revealing the toll her relentless pursuit of adrenaline and truth took on her personal life.
