THE FILM EXPLORES
the most significant decade of Lee Miller’s life. As a
middle-aged woman, she refused to be remembered as a model and male
artists’ muse. Lee Miller defied the expectations and rules of the time
by traveling to Europe to report from the frontline during WWII. There,
in part as a reaction to her own well-hidden trauma, she used her
Rolleiflex camera to give a voice to the voiceless. What she captured on
film in Dachau and throughout Europe was shocking and horrific. Her
photographs of the war, its victims and its consequences remain among
the most significant and historically important of the Second World War.
She changed war photography forever, but Lee Miller paid an enormous
personal price for what she witnessed and the stories she fought to
tell.
