Sinopsis
At the end of World War II, for the first time in history, women journalists are allowed to report directly from the front. As they tour the front lines of World War II, Martha Gellhorn, Margret Bourke-White and Lee Miller add a feminine subtext to war reporting that forever changes our perception of war as the "father of all things."
