In theaters September 27th
Lee, the directorial feature from award-winning Cinematographer Ellen Kuras, portrays a pivotal decade in the life of American war correspondent and photographer, Lee Miller (Kate Winslet). Miller’s singular talent and unbridled tenacity resulted in some of the 20th century's most indelible images of war, including an iconic photo of Miller herself, posing defiantly in Hitler's private bathtub.
Miller had a profound understanding and empathy for women and the voiceless victims of war. Her images display both the fragility and ferocity of the human experience. Above all, the film shows how Miller lived her life at full-throttle in pursuit of truth, for which she paid a huge personal price, forcing her to confront a traumatic and deeply buried secret from her childhood.

Short filmTranscript
00:00I was born determined. I was good at drinking, having sex, and taking pictures.
00:06And I did all three as much as I could.
00:16Not everyone can believe this. Surely they can see what he is.
00:19The question is, what are you going to do? Leave me alone.
00:25Europe was at war, and I felt useless.
00:28I hear you're the woman to see about a job.
00:30I am.
00:31We don't hire older models.
00:33I'm not a model anymore.
00:34I'd rather take a picture than be one.
00:36It's just so creative.
00:40Send me to Europe.
00:41I just want to do my part.
00:43I'm with Vogue magazine.
00:45There's no women allowed in the press briefing.
00:47You've got to be kidding me.
00:48We don't send women to combat.
00:50Well, that's a problem, because I'm here.
00:52Why should the men get to decide?
00:56I'm heading to the front.
00:57That's not what I thought you were going to say.
00:59Ready to go?
01:19Leave her alone!
01:28Leave her alone!
01:32Bad things do happen to some of us girls.
01:42You have secrets.
01:44Many that you'll never share.
01:47Stop! Stop! Stop!
01:48Who cares? Nobody saw them, and you didn't print them.
01:51I fought for them, Lee!
01:52It's not hard enough.
01:57No.
02:03No.
02:06Even when I wanted to look away,
02:10I knew I couldn't.
02:12There are different kinds of wounds.
02:16Not just the ones you can see.
