Lee tells the story of Lee Miller, the American photographer who was determined to document the truth of the Nazi regime. In spite of the odds stacked against female correspondents, Lee captured some of the most important images of World War II. The film is not a biopic, instead it explores the most significant decade of Lee Miller’s life. As a middle-aged woman, she refused to be remembered as a model and male artists’ muse. She defied the expectations and rules of the time and travelled to Europe to report from the frontline. There, she used her camera to give a voice to the voiceless. What she captured on film in Dachau and throughout Europe was shocking and horrific. Her photographs of the war, its victims and its consequences remain among the most significant and historically important of the second world war. She changed war photography forever but paid an enormous personal price for what she witnessed and the stories she fought to tell.
Fotonow will run a Fotowalk before the 5.30pm screening on Sat 28 Sept. More details and booking link coming soon.
