Tim Hetherington, co-director of the documentary Restrepo, was killed in Libya. It’s sometimes easy to forget that the journalists, filmmakers, and photographers are actually putting themselves in very real danger. It’s kind of amazing what they do.
His last tweet: “In besieged Libyan city of Misrata. Indiscriminate shelling by Qaddafi forces. No sign of NATO.”
And a link to Anne Thompson because she says things better than I can and links to quite a few good things.
Restrepo is currently streaming on Netflix. Give it a watch.
*EDIT*
Photographer Chris Hondros was also killed. Huffington Post has some of his pictures from Libya posted.
