In February 2012, Sunday Times reporter Marie Colvin and her photographer Paul Conroy crossed the border into Syria, determined to report on the desperate situation of civilians in the besieged city of Homs. UNDER THE WIRE uses interviews and archive material to depict the complex portrait of the exceptional journalist whose vocation was greater than the fear of death. A disturbing insight into the Syrian war, and an unvarnished documentary on the working conditions of war correspondents who risk their lives every day all over the world.
