"Why photograph war? Is it possible to put an end to human behavior which has existed throughout history by means of photography? The proportions of that notion seem ridiculously out of balance yet that very idea has motivated me." - James Nachtwey ABOUT THIS FILM: War Photographer is the 2001 Academy Award Nominee for Best Documentary Feature that follows preeminent war photographer James Nachtwey for two years as he bravely documents the harrowing realities of Kosovo, Rawanda, Indonesia, and the West Bank.

Right now, Iraq needs our help to restore peace, and if the means of restoration is war, its what the terrorists are up against. Freedom is not free.

i kinda agree but then again i kinda dont. Alot of the time people dont wanna negotate. And sometimes war is the only way to show what you believe in is the way its gonna be. its a bad thing, i know but this is how the human mind works in this day and age, i dont think we will ever see peace, someone will want something that we cant have, and it will start all over again, thats just how it works.

what hurts more than watching all of this is..is sitting at home watching and knowing theres nothing you can do to stop this.. humans are the cause of this world's demise.

War photographers who are nearly always men, thrive on the semi-danger they are in. It has always been a macho/romantic role, the heavy equipment around the neck a substitute for a rifle and grenades. A Nikon F2 = a M16 in 60's Vietnam. It's a special and exclusive club to belong to. No matter how much they wring their hands about the evils of war, the irony is that they also can't help loving it.

Respect from Indonesia. One of the country in which law still values little. Especially in some particular places. I support every means possible to stop war. Such fruitless and painful attempt to solve problem, I can never fathom human's greed to continue it.
