00:01You must be Lee Miller.
00:07It's a war zone, colonel.
00:09Just Lee is fine.
00:11Just Lee?
00:13We don't send women to combat.
00:20Well, that's a problem, because I'm here.
00:24Welcome to Vogue Magazine.
00:26I hear you're the woman to see about a job.
00:28Audrey Withers.
00:30Yes, I am.
00:32I've seen your photographic work.
00:34Really very impressive.
00:37You dislike anyone who questions you.
00:40Especially when you know you're wrong.
00:43And you have secrets.
00:45Many.
00:47That you'll never share.
00:49I'm never wrong.
00:51That's our Lee.
00:54It happened so slowly.
00:57Yet kind of overnight.
00:59We woke up one morning
01:01and Europe was at war.
01:03Only non-military access for women.
01:06I just want to do my part.
01:08Why should the men get to decide what that is?
01:10I'm heading to the front.
01:12Ready to go?
01:14That's not what I thought you were going to say.
01:18We drove into the worst of it all.
01:23I need a light over here.
01:25Right here. Here.
01:28I stay away from that window.
01:30They got snipers.
01:35They're gone.
01:37Everyone's gone.
01:46There are different kinds of wounds.
01:49Not just the ones you can see.
01:52Where are my pictures?
01:54You didn't print them?
01:56The Ministry thought they may disturb people.
01:59People need to move on.
02:01Move on. Move on.
02:03This little girl in a death camp.
02:05How does she move on?
02:07How does she move on?
02:09Ever. Ever.
02:20It's not something I'd heard about or imagined.
02:24It was real.
