Full Plot Details

Journalism in times of war has become an increasingly lethal and traumatic endeavor for the men and women who face constant threats to their lives and psyches. With the death toll skyrocketing from only two reporters killed in World War I to almost a journalist a week being killed in the last two decades, UNDER FIRE weaves together portraits, battlefield accounts and combat footage to reveal what the reporters see, think and feel. Martyn Burke, documentary filmmaker whose work has brought him to battlefields around the world, and Anthony Feinstein, the psychiatrist who works with journalists to heal the trauma, delve into the experiences of top tier correspondents from AP, New York Times, BBC, and LA Times, among others, bringing a unique understanding and insight into the psychological cost of covering war.

Movie Reviews

Christian Science Monitor - 9/10 by Peter RainerThe sometimes agonizingly powerful documentary Under Fire: Journalists in Combat is built around some staggering statistics: Only two journalists were killed in World War I. Sixty-three lost their lives in World War II. And in the past two decades, almost one journalist per week has been killed.
Tolucan Times - 9/10 by Tony Medley...captures the horror of war better than anything Steven Spielberg has ever done, showing real people dead and dying, combatants trying to kill the correspondents, and the aftermath of what covering a war does to their psyche.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Robert AbeleUsing a mix of interviews and subject-relevant combat footage, Burke drives home the traumatic nature of the gig - how it creates adrenaline junkies, ruins personal relationships and often leads to crippling PTSD.
PopMatters - 8/10 by Cynthia FuchsThe war correspondents in Under Fire describe the many effects of trauma, from the adrenalin rush in combat to the agonies that follow.
Variety - 8/10 by Justin ChangViewers unconvinced by the "war is a drug" doctrine set forth by Kathryn Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker" will find it amply corroborated by the self-admitted adrenaline junkies here, whose collective war-reporting experience spans an astounding number of overseas conflicts from Sarajevo and Chechnya to El Salvador and Libya.
The Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Frank ScheckMartyn Burke's documentary hauntingly dissects the rise of media mortality in the war zone and the mental disorders that follow.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Rachel SaltzWell made, and for once the talking-heads format is satisfying.
Boxoffice Magazine - 6/10 by Sara Maria VizcarrondoThis is one of the super rare docs that packs an unbelievable punch despite its misguided aesthetics. It's a strange triumph of content over form, which is the province of journalists to report.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Joe NeumaierImportant and gripping, with a focus on PTSD.
User Review - 10/10 by Marti GImportant film. Searing. Intense. Live in reality to know what happens to war correspondents and photojournalists, so very valuable for the images they send us. Without them, we have such a sanitized view of what our country and our allies do to others (the "others"?) during wars and conflicts.
