Tim Hetherington worked on the border between photojournalism and documentary film-making. He photographed the experience of war mostly in West Africa and the Middle East; his documentary Restrepo (co-directed with Sebastian Junger), about a platoon of soldiers in Afghanistan, was awarded the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and was nominated for an Academy Award.
