Pulitzer Prize winner Lynsey Addario has covered nearly every major conflict and humanitarian crisis over the last 20 years and is considered one of the most influential photojournalists of our time. A regular contributor to National Geographic and the New York Times, Addario has recently returned to London after an assignment in Ukraine, where she had been based since February, capturing the devastation of the Russian invasion. Addario focuses largely on civilians and women and children. For her, those are the victims of war because they're not participating in the fight. She took one of the most recognisable images of the conflict: one that shows four people - a woman, a man and two children - lying on the ground, their suitcases beside them, after a Russian mortar hit just as they had made it over a bridge. She joins the show to discuss her experience in Ukraine and how she manages to deal with the huge physical and emotional toll that comes with doing what she does.
