On Friday SBS VICELAND screens a news documentary Under The Wire: Life Of A War Reporter

On 13 February 2012, war-correspondent Marie Colvin and photographer Paul Conroy entered war-ravaged Syria to cover the plight of civilians trapped in the besieged Homs, under attack by the Syrian army. Only one of them returned. This is their story.

Their aim was to cover the plight of Syrian civilians trapped in Homs, a city under siege and relentless military attack from the Syrian army.

Based on the book by Paul Conroy, Under The Wire: Life Of A War Reporter tells the incredible story of his and Marie’s fateful mission, and Paul’s epic battle to escape the city, to tell the world of his fallen colleague and the plight of the people of Homs.

It’s a film about real journalism, war, and an extraordinary commitment to telling the truth, whatever the cost.

11:05pm Friday on SBS VICELAND.
