37:13Now PlayingFor 25 years, Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Lynsey Addario has covered nearly every major conflict and humanitarian crisis of her generation, from Syria to Sudan to Ukraine. Addario's been kidnapped twice, thrown out of a car on a highway in Pakistan, and been ambushed, on two different occasions, by the Taliban and Iraqi insurgents. Still, she says, she sometimes finds parenting two young kids more challenging than reporting from a war zone.
The new Disney+ documentary Love+War chronicles Addario's efforts to balance her roles as a mother and a journalist.
