Marie Colvin’s story is a paean to the enduring importance of investigative journalism, now under attack by the powers that be. Colvin (Rosamund Pike) is one of the most celebrated war correspondents of our time, driven by the desire to bear witness and speak for the speechless. This hair-raising tale of derring-do comes straight from the world’s most dangerous battlefields, including the Syrian city of Homs, under attack by the forces of president Bashar al-Assad.
