TO BUY THE DVD of the War Photographer go here: firstrunfeatures.com IN THIS SCENE: James philosophizes on photography’s importance and responsibility to humanity. “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 …

Thats our stupid leaders for you.
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.
wow, amazing. im a photographer.
This really shows us the REAL side of war!
what journey -.-’
he shows how the world is when it plunges into war. complete respect to you James Nachtwey and what a great piece of work!!!
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.
great documentary …
FYI the interpreter didn’t tell the truth (min 2:50)
Ah,innocent lives, who breed generations of uneducated, uncivilized, socially regressed and technologically suffocated people whose propagated a singular notion and motivation towards the utter destruction and intolerance parallel to a medieval Jihad on Christianity, in addition to the indoctrination of intolerance for anyone other than fellow tribesmen.Not to mention the lack of a centralized leadership, thickening the socioeconomic barrier that renders peace talks useless. But I see your point
War never ends. its the sad truth. Human nature to want power and to get it by any means necessary.
It is funny how true the commentary is, yet when we finally protest it is when we do it at the expense of the Soldier in the field. Our collective disdain for any Military action causes us to cower until the tipping point. We stew in apathy until the threat has become so great that we must engage it with a mass of force rather than engage it when a slight use of force would have sufficed. I am the Soldier who carries the burden, I pray for peace more than most … but I also know the consequence
mind his work fellas he is a filthy war profiter
profits from the suffering of the people
he needs to get on the gunsight
hell yeah, maybe we will finally learn what war does to people. what a journey
I’ve seen this documentary on TV. Shows the truth that the US press doenst show, thats why the channel that the documentary was broadcasted, was independent. THis guy is just too full of wisdom
oh that’s an easy one… half of the world couldn’t give a shit about negotiation. It’ll never stop as long as we live.
wars are not going to stop because some guy takes pictures of it.
