Irish Film Institute -A PRIVATE WAR (WILD STRAWBERRIES)

A PRIVATE WAR (WILD STRAWBERRIES)

Director: MATTHEW HEINEMAN

110 mins, UK-USA, 2018, Digital


This film screened on Friday 22nd & Wednesday 27th February 2019.

War correspondent Marie Colvin was driven by bravery, a commitment to giving a voice to the silent, and conveying the truth of the inhumanity of war. Rosamund Pike excels in the role of the American-born journalist, her determination undiminished by the explosion which led her to wear a distinctive eye patch. While harrowing in places, the film is informed by the filmmakers’ determination to convey the risks Colvin took in far-flung places to try and make the rest of the world care.
