War Photographer Lynsey Addario Still Has Hope
Summary
For 25 years, Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Lynsey Addario has covered conflicts and humanitarian crises across the globe, from Sudan to Syria. She’s been kidnapped twice, thrown from a car, and shelled in war zones more times than she can count. A new Nat Geo/Disney+ documentary called 'Love+War' follows Addario as she is torn in two directions – her all-consuming reporting in Ukraine and her life at home as a wife and mother of two young kids. Addario spoke with Fresh Air contributor, host of <a href="https://talkeasypod.com/" target="_blank">Talk Easy</a>, Sam Fragoso. <br /><br />Also, book critic Maureen Corrigan reviews 'Some Bright Nowhere,' by Ann Packer.<br /><br /><em>Follow Fresh Air on instagram </em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nprfreshair/" target="_blank"><em>@nprfreshair</em></a><em>, and subscribe to our </em><a href="http://whyy.org/freshair" target="_blank"><em>weekly newsletter</em></a><em> for gems from the Fresh Air archive, staff recommendations, and a peek behind the scenes.</em> <br /><br />See <a href="https://pcm.adswizz.com">pcm.adswizz.com</a> for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.npr.org/about-npr/179878450/privacy-policy">NPR Privacy Policy</a>
