Fearless: The Margaret Moth Story

gerisullivanCNN has produced a short (25-minute) documentary on Margaret Moth, a CNN camera operator with the talent, skills, and sensibilities needed to work in war zones. My brain and heart are still processing the information and perspective it contains, but, wow.
At the core, it's a story of a life fully lived, by a woman with a solid sense of balance: "When she was on an assignment, she gave it 100%, but at the same time, I have to say, she also knew how to unwind, how to relax, and how in a war zone you can go crazy if you don't actually know how to cool down a little bit and how to have fun." - Sausan Ghosheh, Former CNN Producer

Date: 2009-09-30 06:15 am (UTC)I'm just another person who found the documentary compelling. I wouldn't expect CNN to cover health updates from the hospice, but would be surprised if they didn't report when the process reaches it's end.
My mother was in hospice in Michigan. It was so much better than her being in a regular hospital in terms of the quality of life during its final days (weeks...months....).
I wish Margaret comfort and continued peace. I agree; what an amazing woman!
Magaret is hero!
Date: 2009-10-06 05:29 pm (UTC)when I watched the clips of her work in dangerous war zones, I ran short of breathe.
She made history and remains for ever, a subject of studies in journalism profession, the world over.He work will never die!
