New Zealand born CNN camerawoman Margaret Moth walks on the razor's edge between sanity and death. Her first assignment with CNN is to cover the riots that followed Indira Gandhi's assassination in India. She goes on to cover conflicts in Africa, the Middle East and fatally, the Bosnian war. In vivid, emotional detail, we see what Moth saw and how she in turn changed what we, the television viewer, saw. A rollicking ride through sex, drugs and war, NEVER LOOK AWAY is war from a female perspective; as you have never seen it before.
