Hetherington's description of Diary:
'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.
The 19-minute film blends firsthand footage from Hetherington's travels, from chaotic cities to charred battlegrounds, war-torn Africa to the peaceful English countryside. (Warning: Some moments are difficult to watch and briefly depict violent events and their aftermath.) It's a haunting artifact in the wake of Hetherington's death, but also serves as poetic tribute to the work he was doing.
