Born Margaret Wilson to a working-class family in Gisborne, New Zealand, she changed her name to Moth, dyed her blonde hair jet-black, and routinely applied enough Goth eyeliner to cosplay a young Joan Jett before moving to Houston, Texas in the early 1980s to work as a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> cameraperson at CBS affiliate KHOU. (The movie hints, ever so subtly, that covering hurricanes in and around the Gulf Coast area may have been great training for being a war correspondent.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    She was an unabashed hedonist, freely indulging in booze, controlled substances and casual sex \u2014 at age 30, she took as a lover then 17-year-old Jeff Russi, who recalls that he was im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely smitten by the spiky-haired nonconformist he romantically viewed as \u201clooking like a gypsy fortune teller,\u201d and admits theirs was an open relationship in which she set down the rules. For all that, however, Moth sufficiently impressed the right people to land a job with CNN in 1990.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Over the next two decades, Moth attained near-legendary status among her colleagues and superiors with her willingness \u2014 no, make that eagerness \u2014 to get as close as she could to the \u201cmessy, human reality of war.\u201d At one point, while other photojournalists dived for cover behind cars as militiamen opened fire on protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, she stood her ground and turned her camera on the violence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    One night in Tyre, Lebanon, during yet another clash between Hezbollah and Israel, she boldly remained on the rooftop of an apartment block where she and other journalists had established headquarters, camera at the ready, just in case Israel would retaliate for a missile attack launched from a nearby site. Most of her less reckless colleagues sought shelter in the basement. Moth held her ground on the roof, waiting for a counterattack that, fortunately, never came. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Unfortunately, there really is a limit to how much Russian Roulette you can play. While motoring through the infamous Sniper Valley of Sarajevo in 1992, Moth was shot in the head and severely injured \u2014 she lost part of her tongue and most of the lower part of her face. Not surprisingly, that did not stop her. Six months later, she returned to work in Sarajevo after multiple surgeries with her speech slurred, her face scarred, and her addiction to adrenaline undiminished.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Lawless \u2014 heretofore best known as star of TV\u2019s \u201cXena: Warrior Princess\u201d \u2014 strikes a delicate balance between hagiography and brutal honesty while constructing her narrative from archival footage and talking-heads interviews. Chief among those offering testimonials: Russi, who remained Moth\u2019s friend long after she departed Houston; Yaschinka, a French sound recordist who also became her lover and confidant; and CNN correspondent Christiane Amanpour, who vividly recounts how she actually apologized to Moth for bringing her into a particularly hazardous situation, then went out with her the following day to resume their coverage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Much of the movie\u2019s first half is devoted to establishing Moth as a courageous libertine with a possible death wish and an unquenchable desire to always \u201cget the shot\u201d while repeatedly focusing on the innocents of all ages caught in the crossfire. Time and again during \u201cNever Look Away,\u201d you may find yourself flinching at images of the wounded and the dead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It\u2019s not until around the midway point that Lawless backs up to show us an equally disturbing image, drawn by Moth during her emotionally scarring childhood in a home where she and her siblings lived in constant fear of their abusive father. (\u201cWe never knew,\u201d says one of her sisters, \u201cwhen dad was going to come home sober, or come home at all.\u201d) It\u2019s a nightmarish illustration of children terrified by a monstrous figure, suggesting that, early on, little Margaret deduced there were things in life more terrifying than war zones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Lawless had no footage of Moth during her most death-defying episodes, but the filmmaker satisfyingly solves that problem by using meticulously detailed models and physical-scale dioramas to illustrate those incidents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Although we periodically hear recordings of Moth before and after her shooting, Lawless was not able to interview Moth herself \u2014 the photojournalist died of cancer in 2010.\u00a0In the end, however, you can\u2019t help thinking such a conversation would not have revealed more than other interviews Lawless was able to conduct. \u201cNever Look Away\u201d gives us as complete a portrait as seems humanly possible, for which Lawless merits abundant credit. Trouble is, some people quite simply are unknowable \u2014 even by those who may think they know them best. Sometimes, especially by them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
