About This Event

Working in conflict zones demands exceptional courage, resilience and trust. In this unique conversation, The Times Special Correspondent Anthony Loyd and photographer Jack Hill join Alice Thomson to discuss reporting from some of the world’s most dangerous places. From the practicalities of surviving extreme environments to earning the confidence of people on the ground, they reveal how words and images combine to tell stories from the front line. Drawing on assignments they have undertaken together in Ukraine, they reflect on the brutality of war, the humanity that endures within it, and the responsibility of bearing witness.
