A Private War DVD

In a world where journalism is under attack, Marie Colvin (Rosamund Pike) is one of the most renowned war correspondents of our time. Colvin is a completely fearless and rebellious spirit, driven to the front lines of conflicts around the globe to give a voice to the voiceless, while constantly testing the boundaries between bravery and recklessness. After being hit by a shell in Sri Lanka, she wears a distinctive eye patch and is just as comfortable sipping martinis with the London elite as she is dealing with dictators. Colvin sacrifices loving relationships, and over time, her personal life begins to unravel as the trauma she has experienced takes its toll. Yet her mission to reveal the true costs of war leads her—along with the famous war photographer Paul Conroy (Jamie Dornan)—to undertake the most dangerous assignment of her life in the besieged Syrian city of Homs.
