Tim Hetherington (1970-2011) was one of the world's most
distinguished and dedicated photojournalists, whose career was
tragically cut short when he died in a mortar blast while covering
the Libyan Civil War. Someone far less interested in professional
glory than revealing to the world the realities of people living in
extremely difficult circumstances, Tim nonetheless won many awards
for his war reporting, and was nominated for an Academy Award for
his critically acclaimed documentary, Restrepo. Hetherington's
dedication to his career led him time after time into war zones,
and unlike some other journalists, he did not pack up after the
story had broken. After the civil war ended in Liberia, West
Africa, Tim stayed on for three years, helping the United Nations
track down human rights criminals. His commitment to getting the
story out and his compassion for those affected by war was
unrivalled. In Here I Am, Alan Huffman tells Hetherington's life
story, and through it analyses what it means to be a war reporter
in the twenty-first century. Huffman recounts Hetherington's life
from his first interest in photography and war reporting, through
his critical role in reporting the Liberian Civil War, to his
tragic death in Libya. Huffman also traces Hetherington's
photographic milestones, from his iconic and prize-winning
photographs of Liberian children, to the celebrated portraits of
sleeping US soldiers in Afghanistan. Here I Am explores the risks,
challenges, and thrills of war reporting, and is a testament to the
unique work of people like Hetherington, who travel into the most
dangerous parts of the world, risking their lives to give a voice
to those devastated by conflict.
