Margaret Moth
Margaret Moth was a pioneering war correspondent from Australasia, renowned for her fearless reporting in some of the world's most dangerous conflict zones. She covered significant events including the riots in India after Indira Gandhi's assassination, and was known for her audacious approach, such as walking past Israeli troops to interview Yasser Arafat. Moth faced immense personal challenges, including undergoing numerous reconstructive surgeries after being shot, yet she returned to the frontline, driven by a desire to document the human impact of war. Her complex life, characterized by both hedonism and a passion for storytelling, is the subject of the documentary 'Never Look Away,' directed by Lucy Lawless.
