Watch the Late Tim Hetherington's 2010 Short Film Diary

Award-winning photojournalist and documentarian Tim Hetherington was killed on Wednesday while covering the conflict in Libya, his last effort in a career in which he took risks to bring attention to the world's many wars. In his wrenching Oscar-nominated 2010 documentary Restrepo (co-directed with Sebastian Junger), Hetherington shone a light on the emotional toll suffered by a platoon of soldiers in Afghanistan; the same year, he made the short film Diary as a personal exploration of his experience as a combat journalist.

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.
