The feature documentary that tells the remarkable story of how Margaret Moth lived her life to the absolute fullest while covering war zones for CNN, and paid a significant price. When she was shot in the head by a sniper in Sarajevo in 1992, Moth lost the lower half of her face, which had to be reconstructed across more than a dozen surgeries. But she wasn’t done covering war zones, and refused to let her drastic injuries hold her back. She bravely returned to Sarajevo as soon as possible, and went on to cover multiple subsequent wars for CNN, becoming even more committed to showing the impact of war.
