NOW A MAJOR FEATURE DOCUMENTARY Determined to cover the Syrian
regime's brutal crackdown on dissent and the devastating impact of
the war on Syria's civilians, veteran photographer Paul Conroy and
Marie Colvin,one of the foremost war correspondents of her
generation, decided to smuggle themselves across enemy lines and
into the blood and terror of Homs. But tragedy struck before the
pair could finish documenting the slaughter. A rocket killed Colvin
and ripped a hole in Conroy's leg. As Syrian ground forces closed
in on his position,Conroy was forced to make a terrifying
last-ditch attempt to escape from a regime that appeared determined
to murder him. Under the Wire is the epic, untold account of Conroy
and Colvin's last, tragic assignment together. A rare and touching
portrait of an extraordinary woman driven by an unquenchable desire
to 'bear witness', it is as much a tale of courage and survival as
it is the poignant account of a friendship forged amid the carnage
of war.
