Tim Hetherington’s “Diary”
Tim Hetherington, a Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent who, with Sebastian Junger, filmed the documentary “Restrepo” and spent years covering the folly of war, was himself killed this week in Libya, another victim of the civil war that’s broken out in that North African country. A friend told me about Hetherington’s 2010 film, “Diary,” which he crafted to juxtapose scenes of Western life with scenes of conflict from around the world. It’s a moving piece of work from a journalist who saw too much and died too young.
