War correspondent Marie Colvin is a woman who is as comfortable downing martinis with high society’s elite as she is staring down warlords and fleeing from gunfire. Driven by a desire to give voice to the voiceless, Colvin charges into danger, testing the limits between bravery and bravado.
Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) plays the late Marie Colvin, a feisty yet troubled war correspondent, in this biopic that travels to the frontlines of world conflicts. A life led by an uncompromising conviction in journalism’s role to tell the truth, A Private War pays homage to a fascinating figure.
