Margaret Moth - true tale of a shooter, gunmen, and the ultimate killer



The cable news channel CNN celebrates Margaret Moth, a fearless camerawoman from New Zealand who, fifteen years ago, was hit by a sniper in Sarajevo and nearly lost her life. She was wounded beyond recognition but her work was unmistakable. Moth embodies the Frank Capra mantra that you cannot get too close to the action. A hard-living lady whose story shows her indominatable spirit. "I would have liked to go out with a little more flair," she says. Click here for two video segments.

You meant Robert Capa, not Frank Capra. Capa was the legendary war photog who said, "If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough."
