Okay...

Be as good.

This is Lisa.

And here's one for Steph.

And...

It can hang outside the window
and make nice sounds.

And she can always.

One of my best.

It smells wonderful.

I must prepare myself

You...

Do you have another?

No.

Wait!

I need time.

I was in an explosion.

Yes, there we have it.

What the hell were you doing there?

Why were you in that place?

What?

You said you loved me because -

- I am passionately committed.
That's why -

- You would live with me.

Can you imagine how it is
waiting for the phone?

I've been waiting for it ever since
we met, I've just...

I have prepared myself.

Over and over and over again.

Made me realize.

So...

Stand up in the middle of the night and -

- Sit on an airplane -

- Travel to a godforsaken place.

And where can I find you.
I identify your corpse.

And I'll take you home.

Tells it to the kids.

I see that Lisa collapse

I'm trying to prevent Steph
disappears into itself

Rebecca, I can not go back
to that life again. It is not.

I can not live with you anymore.

Stay here until you're good, but then...

I do not know...

...group of top executives met to
put their names under -

- plan to bring peace and stability
to the war -torn Congo region.

It was magnificent surroundings
for the ceremony. This plan...

Hello! I brought you some lunch.

Hello!

- You look like hell.
- Totally fucking

I was the blown up.

Worse, it was not.

That's what happens when you hang out
in war zones. Looks like you need it

I do not think I need it,
But the world does it.

Seeing the suffering, the pain, it happens.

Hold up. You do it because it is exciting
and dangerous, and therefore you are good.

We have already made ​​you Irish.

" Rebecca Thomas from Dublin."

People care about you, Becca,
you should appreciate it.

Do not talk nonsense.

I would kill to get such advertising.

What were you doing there anyway?

Are you going back?

- Can I get you something?
- It goes well.

Sure, very good.

Just a punctured lung, almost dead,
nothing to worry about.

It's nice to see you.

But quite seriously...

No long luminous tunnels? Angels?

Mazes...

Beauty...

But you came back.

How has it Steph?

I do not know.

- I should pick her up from school.
- Not today, it is not necessary.

She needs some time, Becca.

- She has school clubs today.
- You need not be super mom today.

I may have time to be there at 16,
so I should go now.

She has not...

She has no more school clubs.

She has an exercise.

It is an African project.

OK

Arrr...

Excuse me.

Sure there is going well?

I have the great.

I just wanted to pick you up.

But I have cycled to school.

Oh yes.

It goes well.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

But say what is wrong, then.

I hope it was worth it

image.

I hope it was worth it.

See you at home

...you are always on my mind
and in the heart

not forget to do your homework.
I'll be back for your birthday.

I got a small piece of paper on finger
and my mom had a patch.

Living in Street Wars.

Mother wrote to me after she took this
picture. She said that the little boy -

- was deaf. His brother was three years younger,
but he had to...

Mommy missed home for my birthday.

She sent a card where she said
she thought of me. Miss you.

Sorry I can not be there
the day. But we'll see you this weekend.

Good evening and welcome to
" The Late Late Show ".

First we have swine flu
and so icy wind...

I'm not going back

I'm not going back to war zones.

I do not believe you.

What more do you want me to do?

Rebecca...

Therapy, family counseling, what else ...?

I 'll do anything.

Just say no.

You come home, you...

You are sleeping, resting, washing clothes

We is happy.

But all the time you prepare, the
Get ready to go back, you just -

Put on your seat-belt.

Hi.

Becca: Hey, you're the big news here.

Talk about the history of big H!
My God.

Do you have any pictures of me?

Becca.

I ends.

I will not work with conflicts more.

You need some time. You are tired.

Is there anything, anything,
that we can do to help you?

You are one of the best
photographers in the world.

You can not just stop.

I have two children.

And a husband.

OK, Jess...

Pardon.

Mom?

Hello - Hello.

- It was you who called?
- Yes. Thank you for coming.

- A surprise.

Oh my god! It's two in there!

- They are so cute!
- Yes.

It you do not want to be
Another lucky girl waiting.

- What do you want?
- Both!

This will be called Happy and Lucky.

No, you must choose.

It is unfair!
I want both.

- See which of them will have you first.

See, here's the.

- Thank you.
- But I would have both.

Hold up.

- What is all this?
- Breakfast. Mom's home.

Where did the lunchbox?

Dad never make smoothies.

Heck, how are things?

- Shut up, Lisa.

- Shut up, both of

Steph, you are sleepy again.
You need to go to bed earlier.

Are not you tired because you

Eleanor O'Reilly says that when dads
sleeping on the couch, it's a bad sign.

Come now, we must go
Get their bags, then we.

Wow...

- Tom!
- Hey Rebecca.

Hi.

- How are you?
- Good

I did not know you were here.
I have something I wanted to show you

Steph made this while you were away.
She forgot them again with us

I wanted you to see them.

It's her.

She has a special talent.

Something very special.

Dad...

Thank you

Rebecca Thomas?

Can you just sign here?

Just a quick signature.

Write here.

It was nice.

How are you?

We 're doing a project
about Africa in school.

And in my class did a -

- Absolutely terrible picture -

- That you have taken.

What then?

It is Mary.

She was -

- Beaten up by some rebel soldiers
who call themselves LRA.

They cut off her lips and her ears
to intimidate the population.

They raped women and -

- Killing civilians and -

- Forced children to either be
child soldiers or sex slaves.

How old were they when they were
forced it?

The youngest I've encountered was nine.

I was in the Congo at the time when the world
was more interested in the news that -

- Paris Hilton got out of a car without
panty, than what happened in the world...

It made me just -

- furious.

- Got it made in the Congo?
- Yes.

On the way to the Futaki
amid gold mines.

And this man...
It is also to.

He was executed by -

- The local militia.

He was tortured in the worst
before he was killed.

I do not get it.

Why do they do this?

For the money.

Multinational firms and mining companies
has amazing deals with many countries.

They rape the countries.

They take the natural resources and wealth
and nothing is returned to the states.

Nothing to infrastructure, hospitals
burned down, medical equipment -

- Stolen by the military and the lack of
access to medical treatment...

Five million people have died.
It is...

Since when? 1998.

It is the highest number of deaths in
any war since World War II.

Can I use these images
in the project?

In the project? Yes, of course.

If you want, I can call someone who has
much evidence to Africa Project.

Do you?

You can share it with the other
in class to.

Some African books...
about dance and rituals.

Run Away.

Get out! Fort.

Run Away.

Becca.

Rebecca?

- What are you doing here?
- Stig! It's incredible!

- How are you?
- Nice to see you!

What are you doing here?

- Where do you work currently?
- I'm home.

- OK?
- I do not cover conflicts more

so good.

It's good because -

- I'm starting as program coordinator
for the Norwegian Refugee Council in Kenya.

They need someone to cover work
in Kakuma camp.

- You will find certainly some.
- This is conflict -free area.

Is it safe?

Steph, my daughter.

Stig. Nice to meet you.

Is the site safe?

In Kenya there are some problems,
but Kakuma is perfectly OK.

Thanks for the offer.

And we'll see when we meet.

Consider the offer.

- Call me when you decide.
- Sure.

So great. Did you have fun?

One guy wanted Mom
would go to Kenya.

- And photographing refugee camps.
- He asked me and I said no.

Imagine going to Keena!

It's called Kenya.

- That's what I said!
- No one should go to Keena.

The guy said that it is safe there.

We could go together.

- As a mother - daughter thing.
- It is not necessary.

It is perfect for project
that's what I'm working on.

And it is safe.

There is a lot tougher than you think.
There is no vacation!

Sure, I know it.

But -

- Think so much attention it will grab -

- In school, in class...

We need family time now,
the four together.

Why should you decide everything?

- I do not decide anything.
- Yes, you do!

- You do not want us to go.
- Your mother has just been bombed.

- But I told you it is safe.
- Safe?

Yes, it is safe!

Why will not my mother and I
do something together?

Sure I want you to do it!

Steph, it's not long since you were
terrified when she was out on a mission.

Shut the fuck up!

- What?
- Shut up.

- I'm not like more.
- No, I see it.

Hey, where are you going?

I'll be with Lisa's class on the beach.

- Someone who likes crabs?
- Yes!

- Would you eat live, raw crabs?
- Yes!

- No!
- You guys are animals!

Help me...

Here you will meet Harvey.

- Now you must greet Harvey.
- Hey!

And this is Walther.

Walther is greater than Harvey,
but otherwise also different.

- Yes?
- The dead.

Yes, it's true. But is it something else?

- Claws! It has several!
- That's right.

This is called a mutation.

What is your job?

My dad is a marine biologist.

That's right. Anyone know what it is?

- Yes?
- They look at fish.

They look at the fish, yes.

- Crabs and stuff.
- Proper.

And something I study here in the Irish Sea
along with my colleagues -

- Is that we 're looking for something called
technetium 99, and which is radioactively.

It is waste that comes from
a plant called -

- Sellafield and is
across the sea in England.

We are looking for traces of plutonium.

- Have any of you heard of plutonium?
- Yes, I am!

- I do not know.
- Do not you know? It goes well.

Plutonium -

- Is a man-made radioactive
metal that remains infinitely long.

You can not get rid of it, and it is
a problem. And we do not know -

- What creates mutations.

Can I eat it?

If you can eat it?
No, it's not good to eat it.

- Is this boring?
- Yes!

- OK, guys, ready for the crab race?
- Yes!

Well, come along here.

Now all pat.

Thank you so, so nice.

He's always yelling at Paul because he
come late. Discipline is OK, but...

Teachers should not harass students.

Sixth grade she kicked the lady,
she was completely hopeless. Do you remember?

Ridiculous!

Teachers do not talk about other than responsibility,
But can one eight year old be so responsible?

But is not that what teachers should be, then?
Train your kids?

It depends on.

Yes, it depends on
what level you are talking on.

What's the matter?

I should shut up

- I can not handle it.
- What?

Life.

Being normal.

What is it?

Morning coffee with girlfriends?
All the chatter?

I do not know how you manage it.

Maybe I'm crazy.

It's an established fact.

You know it just does not.

What?

What?

Becca, it's not so easy to say this.

We do not publish your photos.

What?

You 're kidding. What do you think?

Pentagon is furious over the image recently -

- the soldier who died in an IED attack,
taken by an enlisted photographer

I do not know what it is
to do with this, sorry...

Not directly, but indirectly it.
Very much.

Editor told, private -

- that even though we are not bound
of any enrollment ratio, -

- Pentagon considers your photos
as a glorification -

- Suicide bombers.

If we publish, -

- they will block all future agreements
about enrollment and doors in Washington.

Wow, this is -

- The pure hypocrisy!
Or even worse, that's extortion!

This is not my decision, but they have
said that this is a final decision -

- which is not open to negotiation.

You mean to tell me these images
not to be seen?

Sorry...

Jess, you must persuade them.

Go to the editor, you have done before.

I take pictures of what I see.

Do not you get it?

Publish your photos! Tell him to it!

I'll call you back. Sorry.

Anyway, I have stopped.

That said, I have stopped.

What was it that really
occurred in Kabul?

I do not understand it, Rebecca.

Why did you put yourself in mortal danger?

I thought no, it is not
how it takes place.

It's just... instinct.

One just presses on.

I was not scared even.

The worst thing is that...

I took two images, from outside the car.

I have no idea why.

The police saw me.

And while -

- Discussed with the driver...

I honestly do not remember,
I only saw a few people, and the narrow.

She set off the bomb, it is
what I remember. It was all -

- My fault.

You think that because of you -

- She triggered the bomb?

Yes, it happened right there
and just then.

At the very people died, yes.

- I would like to say a few words.
- Oh no, not this year, Marcus

I will not make a speech.

Listen here.

It has been quite a year.

The advances in terms of plutonium -
management is a breakthrough.

And I'm really proud of you.

- Even you, John.
- Thank you, boss.

These last few weeks -

- Has been -

- Challenging, to say the least.

You guys have been brilliant. Thank you.

I just Googling you.

I had no idea...

You have quite a glance.

When you see such terrible things, you...

Look, every time I need to say something about
my job, I destroy only the company.

And I've stopped.

What? You 're not going to quit?

- You are a brilliant photographer.
- Does Marcus pushed you?

Sometimes it's bad to be home.

Thus, it is home
has the hardest job.

That's what I meant.

I think you should continue.
They are better than your fish photos.

You can not use a tripod underwater.
It just floats to the surface.

What are you going to?

Come on!

Go ahead.

I think you and Steph
will be traveling to Kenya

I'm not kidding.

It is a good opportunity.

She seemed so want to go,
and you want it, and -

- She needs...

She needs her mother.
I think it

Marcus...

It is quite true.

We take a bath!

I did not mean it! Are you crazy?

Come on!

And you must make sure Lucky

- I have nothing else to do.
- And Dad

- I thought you were going to go again.
- I know.

There are only a few days.

When I come back,
we two go on tour.

Yes, I want to Australia.
There the platypus.

Or the zoo.

You get care - I'll.

You can use this if you want.

Oh yeah?

Thank you!

One of the biggest humanitarian crises
happening right here in Kenya.

It's been over one million
displaced persons to this country.

Many of the children are orphans.

Good night.

Why did you start taking pictures of war?

Rage.

I was really angry
when I was younger.

Taking pictures was -

- My life.

I could express emotions.

It calmed me down.

Are you still angry?

Oh yes.

But I've learned to live with it.
Working with the.

What do you mean?

When faced with all this -

- Dreadful.

The disorder.

I want people putting coffee in the neck
when they open the newspaper and see -

- And feel and -

- reacting.

That's what I want.

You know, Steph?

You give me hope.

Good night.

Good night.

If you want to shoot -

- Just click where.

So try to keep the camera still
while watching.

There you go

Rebecca?

We must take - Why?

They have seen some people outside,
and they are afraid that they will make noise

I thought it was safe here.

There has been some friction
between some clans lately.

You get 10-15 minutes, so we must take

Steph?

Can I take a picture?

Rebecca, we must leave now.
Steph, come now.

Hurry.

Come

Rebecca! Now!

Rebecca!

Get in!

Bring Steph back, I 'll be here.

No Mom, come!

Steph, trust me, it goes well.

You go back to Stig to a safe
place, and we'll see you there, OK?

Trust me, it goes well!

Mom!

Listen to me!

I am responsible for your safety.
Get in the car!

I take responsibility for my own safety.
I know exactly what I'm doing.

You drive my daughter out of here!
Get off me!

The camp is not protected.

Where is the protection for these guys?

We do everything we can.

How can the UN allow this to happen?

- They are not protected, they need it.
- I have spoken to the UN in a year

I 'll say it again. But we are
of little use if we die, Rebecca

I'll send pictures soon to New York.

You must promise never to do such a thing again.

I have to send these photos

Steph?

Steph?

- I'm sorry you were so scared.
- I was not afraid

I'm sorry

I'm just tired.

They send more security forces.

There is power in your photos.

Do not tell daddy.

If it yesterday.

OK

But we have to talk about it.

We need it.

Just do not say anything to him.

Please.

Lisa!

- Now, it was a nice trip?
- Yes.

- Did you bring gifts?
- Sure.

Mom, Lucky is gone!

Alas, we find him enough.

- It's burning!
- My burns.

We should have...

Dad says it's stupid.

- What?
- I will not taste it.

Come on!

You burned your!
It was incredibly stupid.

Go away.

Go ahead.

- You are allowed to have some fun!
- Stop it!

Kitty, kitty, come here!

Help me.

When I find her
she will never escape again.

You must dare to let her out again.

But she's so tiny! She can not do
out there alone. Neither do I.

Cats have nine lives. Did not you know?

Perhaps there?

There is something wrong with Steph.

What?

I do not know.

Can we talk about
what happened in Africa?

No.

I think it's time
I talk to your dad.

No.

How are your photos?

Can I see?

It's nice.

Rebecca, we must leave now.

Run! Now...

Come, now.

Now! Now!

Where are you?

Rebecca! No.

Car.

Rebecca! The car.

Are you okay?

- Steph?
- Rebecca.

Come back

Steph!

Rebecca, no!

Car.

Rebecca.

- Fuck ...!
- Jump in!

Bring Steph back, I will be here.

- No, Mom!
- I need to be here.

You go back with Stig to a safe
place, and we'll see you there, OK?

Goes well, it goes well!

I am responsible for your safety.
Get in the car!

I take responsibility for...

- What the hell is this?
- This is not how it really is.

Listen...

Steph was never...

Everything went very well
and Steph were in safe hands.

- Safe Hands?
- Yes

Steph and I have already
talked us through this

Steph?

Steph!

Marcus!

She was quite good!

Stig was with her
and I was never in any real danger.

I said I was sorry,
I can say that again

I will of course not the
something like that to happen again

Marcus!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Marcus...

I want this crap out of my house!

And I want you out of my house!

Do you smell that?

Death!

It smells like death of you, Rebecca!

Lisa, go and find Steph.
Find Steph and get in the house!

You're scaring her.

What?

I scare her?

Do not you know these kids -

- Live in perpetual fear that the mother
will die, and so it is I who scare them?

Just...

You need not be afraid,
it goes well.

Do you run a tour
Dad has calmed down a bit?

No, go away!

We can go and buy ice!

- How about the zoo?
- No, I have to pee!

Try to keep up. Put yourself.
It goes well.

Come on, Steph.

Put yourself. You are safe in the car!

Stop.

What are you... Open up,

Rebecca, keep up with this!

Not do this.

Please shut up! Steph!

But look at them, then!
Close the door, for God's sake!

Close the door.

Thank you

I'm worried about you

Becca...

You're a really good mom.

Hello?

Hey, Mom.

Just go in, Lisa.

Lisa

Steph?

Can I talk to you?

It is important.

Please.

I love you.

And enough away, I am
sorry about what happened

I made a big mistake.

OK

Was that all?

No.

One day, when you're an adult, and -

- You've figured out who you are -

- You will understand that there are things you
do not can do something, things inside of you.

I have started something there
I can not just run away from.

I need to find a way
to finish it on.

When is it done?

I have created a lot of mess -

- In our lives.

I hope one day
will be able to forgive me.

It would actually be easier
if you were dead.

Then we could -

- All been sad together.

Once and for all

Steph...

Becca: Hey, it's Jessica.

There have been many changes here.

We want to publish your.

But we need more pictures of
activities to bring out the story.

Now the group is in the process of
to disintegrate, then -

- we need you to go back there
before it is too late.

What do you say to that?

Here you go next.

Be as good.

Good day.

Where are you?

Istanbul and Kabul.

Mom.

Excuse

I did not mean what I said.

Where are you?

Will you?

Thank you for you for coming

I think we have a great evening.
The class has...

Drogba shows that with football -

- Everyone can get far.

Although they come from a poor country.
Thank you.

And now it is time to Steph
to give us -

- A presentation from a trip
She recently was on.

Thank you.

" MY JOURNEY TO KENYA"

I was recently visiting a refugee
camp in Kenya along with my mother.

She is a photographer.

She travels to places
where there are problems.

Places like the rest of the world does not -

- Not really care about.

She travels there to take pictures.

I was with her at a refugee camp
Kenya, on the border with Sudan.

People staying at this place.

And 5000 new coming every month.

Many are orphans.

At first I thought it was weird
to go to people and -

- Take pictures of them.

Especially when they were sad. But then -

- I realized something.

They would.

But no matter how many photos you take -

- It is not enough.

Someone must continue to take more.

This someone happens to my mom.

While we were there, it matches.

Mom got me in confidence,
and so she risked her own life -

- To take this picture.

I think of the children
that go through this every day.

They need her more than I do.

Thank you very much.

Can you open the door?

If you bring gifts?

No, I have not been at work.

- Where have you been, then?
- I've been...

Slightly alone for a while.

- How was it?
- It was...

pretty lonely.

Now I think you have to sleep.

- Are you going to sleep here tonight?
- No, I do not think so.

- You will always be my mommy?
- I am always your mom.

You 'll stay with dad, OK?

I visit very soon.

To be with you and Steph.

Natt'a.

Good night.

You came back just to say goodbye?

Yes.

Are you afraid?

Yes.

But that's okay.

Lisa says we have the bravest
mommy in the world.

Because you swim in the sea all year round.

I love you.

Goodbye.

Good night.

It's nice here.

Yes, it is nice.

Be careful when.

You must stop this. Stop it!
