Event Details

In a field dominated by men, five pioneering camerawomen Mary Rogers, Cynde Strand, Jane Evans, Maria Fleet and Margaret Moth went to the frontlines of wars, revolutions and disasters to bring us the truth. These brave photojournalists made their mark by capturing some of the most iconic images from Tiananmen Square, to conflicts in Sarajevo, Iraq, Somalia and the Arab Spring uprising. But the world doesn't know it was these women behind the camera. In the midst of unfolding chaos, the pictures they took both shocked and informed the world. This feature documentary by director Heather O'Neill tells their remarkable story.
