shooting the messengers

yesterday, tim hetherington, a combat cameraman, photojournalist and director/producer of the documentary restrepo, was killed while working on the front lines of misurata, libya (getty image photographer chris hondros was also fatally wounded).  a massive loss of two men who's life's work gave us front row access to the worlds growing and ongoing conflicts - (chris hondras's photographs just happened to be on the front page of the los angeles times print edition yesterday morning).
restrepo is an amazing, timely documentary that should not be missed directed by a brave filmmaker and journalist who surely will be.
tim hetherington's film, pictured below with some other amazing documentaries i've seen on netflix the past 6 months, will move, challenge, inform and provoke you. some are uplifting, some heartbreaking and all worth your time and attention.
