Last Images of War is the compelling and tragic story of four photojournalists covering the Afghan-Soviet war, who felt an intense commitment to provide the world with the dramatic images it craved, and who were ultimately consumed by the story and the conflict they reported on. Narrated by British actor Ben Kingsley, this unforgettable, Emmy-Award winning film explores the motivation and ideals which carried these three men (one English, one American and one Russian) and one Japanese woman to their tragic deaths.

INTERNATIONAL REVIEWS:

"At last a powerful and haunting film which measures up to the claims made for this anthology of international documentaries." - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH (London)

"A universal commentary, punctuated with searing and indelible images, on the human costs and tragic nature of war as a means of solving international disputes." - SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL

"A compelling and moving portrait. This film introduces remarkable, heroic people whose losses underscore the primitive waste and idiocy of war while pointing out the psychological and spiritual needs such conflicts continue to serve." - VARIETY (Hollywood)
 
"This brilliant film, on PBS, runs against the current grain of prime-time television and succeeds in being both riveting and edifying." - TORONTO GLOBE AND MAIL

"Four Stars! Valiant and haunting!  An artful and emotionally inspiring tribute. This is a story which needed to be told, and however painful, brings honor and meaning to its subjects." - USA TODAY

"A moving account of the motivations of people whose commitment to truth was greater than their desire to stay alive. This is a deeply unsettling film." - TIME OUT (London)

"LAST IMAGES OF WAR" is a superior work in terms of technique, but it is also a deeply felt film.  It is disturbing, patriotic, poetic, sad and inspiring." - SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
