Director of RESTREPO Tim Hetherington Killed: Three Colleagues Injured
By Geno McGahee
RSR is sorry to report the death of Director/Photographer Tim Hetherington, a man that co-directed a highly regarded film by the name of “RESTREPO.” He was on assignment in the violent chaos that is Libya and paid the ultimate price. This sort of situation has been happening quite a lot lately and it shows the danger that a journalist will go through to bring you the news. Hetherington should be remembered for his bravery as well as his talent.
Three other colleagues were also injured. Our thoughts and best wishes are with the Hetherington family at this time.
