Based on the true story of Marie Colvin, the journalist who braved Middle-East conflicts to report under the heaviest gunfire of the 2000s. With Pike playing the trademark eye-patched role in a Golden Globe-nominated performance, especially during a final scene, we understand what made this particular reporter a celebrated one. But at the end of the day, the heroine's death-defying endeavors to give voice to the voiceless people of these regions, fall under the spell of a white savior narrative, as there is no mention of which countries were really the cause of such brutal conflicts in the first place.
