Hetherington was with a group of photo journalists who were all injured in the attack, including Getty Images photographer Chris Hondros, whose wounds are said to be “grave.”
Above is an ABC news video about the tragedy with a trailer to RESTREPO included.
We’ve not seen RESTREPO yet. A good friend and Iraq veteran has insisted that it should be at the top of our to-watch list.
Hetherington’s final post on April 18 remains on the social networking site, Twitter.
Below is Tim Hetherington’s personal film ‘Diary” uploaded on Vimeo three months ago as of this post.
‘Diary’ is a highly personal and experimental film that expresses the subjective experience of my work, and was made as an attempt to locate myself after ten years of reporting. It’s a kaleidoscope of images that link our western reality to the seemingly distant worlds we see in the media.
