IN THIS SCENE: James philosophizes on photography's importance and responsibility to humanity.
"Why photograph war? Is it possible to put an end to human behavior which has existed throughout history by means of photography? The proportions of that notion seem ridiculously out of balance yet that very idea has motivated me." - James Nachtwey
ABOUT THIS FILM: War Photographer is the 2001 Academy Award Nominee for Best Documentary Feature that follows preeminent war photographer James Nachtwey for two years as he bravely documents the harrowing realities of Kosovo, Rawanda, Indonesia, and the West Bank.

@DonMichaelBrown, do you have the intelligence to actually comprehend what this man and others like him puts themselves through in order to get these pictures that have moved the world? They go through absolute hell. They see things nobody should bear witness to, executions, gun battles, bombing watching their colleagues and friends die before their eyes and Mr. Nachtwey was even at ground zero on 9/11 and still at he site when the buildings came down. You try do all that.

This made me want to be a photo journalist, not a photographer. I don't want to take pictures because i like to, I want to take them because i need to tell a story.

@DonMichaelBrown jealousy, envy and ego are really ugly Don. Probably what cause these wars that JN wants to stop. I am sure he would be happy to be out of a job - no wars.

@DonMichaelBrown thank you for your inspirational comment Don. If I had the energy I would reply in detail in an attempt to help you understand. I'm just not sure whether I'd get anywhere with you though.

@DonMichaelBrown So basically you're saying he should put himself at this tremendous risk, take these amazing photos, use his skill in a way he loves and inform people of the horrors of war...but shouldn't be rewarded materially for his sacrifices?
You are obviously a tremendous human being and I hope you live in as interesting times as James does and that all your wishes come true.

@DonMichaelBrown
Easy to criticize a man who works so hard and puts himself in situations of great risk on a regular basis, huh? Being a mere human myself, I can forgive the man a few creature comforts in the time between his self-less acts of bearing witness to things that you or I can only hope never to see firsthand. With a body of work as important as his, a retrospective, a documentary, seems like a minor indulgence in sharing the story of how, and why, he does what he does.
