Alex Garland's new film, '<a href="https://a24films.com/films/civil-war">Civil War</a>,' debuted at no. 1 at the box office earlier this month, and  follows four journalists on a road trip from New York City to D.C. in the midst of societal collapse. The beating heart of the film is Lee, a veteran photojournalist played by Kirsten Dunst, who's determined to interview the president as his administration is on the verge of collapse to rebel forces. <a href="https://www.lynseyaddario.com/">Lynsey Addario</a> is an award-winning photojournalist who has covered humanitarian crises abroad for over two decades, including the ongoing war in Ukraine, and  conflicts in the Middle East and Africa. For the midweek pod, Brooke Gladstone speaks with <a href="https://www.lynseyaddario.com/">Addario</a> about her real-life experience covering wars abroad, and how accurately the film depicts what it's like to report amidst a dangerous war.
