trying to secure resources for the future. as a whole balance expect growth we bring you the stories the economic world we live in the cost on al-jazeera. in my name. for the boy on the beach and you are. today what is the legacy of journalist marie colvin discussing the role of journalism in conflict as a documentary on the legendary war correspondent so you can share your thoughts and then you might be in the street. every the thirteen twenty twelve reporter marie colvin to talk of hope paul conroy snuck into syria they were on a mission to tell the stories of syrian civilians trapped in the war torn city of

homs the cold when they would be her last assignment on february twenty second she and another journalist french photographer remi were killed by the syrian army convoy and others were wounded but survived that story is told in an upcoming documentary under the wire based on conrad's book of the same title have a look. it was a. passion . i counted toward. the civilian area i said what is your exit strategy. when they want to tell the stories of each person. and i just.

and you don't immediately send didn't get in the ambulance and. we knew we had to drive through the from my. that you were going down and sell it well i. was there when. joining us from london we have the film's director chris martin and paul convoy the photographer who was with marie in syria and in oyster bay new york pat's colvin marine sister hello everybody it is good to have you here. this is an unusual film it's an intriguing film it felt like a movie quest where were you when you thought i need to make this documentary. trinidad. i was filming i was actually filming. we wish we would be having a shoot in the very very present on and of trinidad and i had about marie

marie and remi being killed and. i started sleeping a lot of attention and i just i i saw these clips on you tube of paul making a play and he was trapped and it just gripped me then and we were when we were going out on the shoot and in the days all the crew would be saying is he out of the out of the out and i think everybody you know i think everybody you sort of encountered the story. as just being kind of thrilled by it i don't know i have from from from the very first moment or any. paul you know as i think if you're interested that's where we would holmes. you you have are in trinidad and you have a unique role in this film because i was sitting there in the theater and the horror that is happening and we reliving it move you and all the of the people who were involved and there with you in homs but we're also not thing because you also

have a wiki you also ignore human so dry as well how how do you do that because you must be retelling the story so many times yet i mean you may actually it's not just the most i mean a lot of people when they read the book said it's like it's the funniest black. tragedy that they've ever had but that all stems from doing the job that you know marie had an incredible sense of humor and so that's how we kind of bounced off each other again getting to doing the job and you know it's i think it's important that it carried on like that through the book and in the film and it's kind of it's reassured him in the cinema when you're watching it and you do it the audience laugh and at the beginning there's a few parts where you know you can hear the chuckles but when i hear that i kind of think you know that that engage and that they go on a trip where there's uma you know ask us about your day in a human you know it was absolutely shocked but i would not it's what reminds me so

much of mary next up to paul i never met anyone but paul and mary who had this really dark sense of humor mary had us all laughing when she you know lost her eye . it was just a funny funny story it's hard to imagine but the way she told it had everyone laughing i honestly thought she had come out of homes that's a funny story that the news reports were wrong and she was fired. and obviously she didn't. you know the run up in the press on this documentary have people sharing their own reflections online about your sister i want to share just the two for members of our community this is so my yahoo tweets and marie colvin was a huge reason i went into journalism when she passed away i said little there a brief bio and said this is my dream job and he wasn't very excited to say the least and so my as now a journalist oftentimes with al-jazeera another person writes in on twitter saying

that as a tom all i'm grateful for her and she had the accurate and unbiased understanding towards a prolonged civil war in the island country sri lanka where she lost her left by sri lankan army r.p.g. and april two thousand and one cat she became really known and recognizable for that pats tell us about that time i tell you. you just. tumble. community has spent so incredibly supportive of my family and done so much like you see so. i really appreciate that from now and i know that here so much to make their voices fair and the journalism student who wrote and i'm sure her parents might not be thrilled. to be dangerous but. it makes me really happy you know we've started journalism school in greece named she was so supportive of us because she believed

in how the stock was especially today. if your. students are interested in following greece. pool there's a big picture behind me and it's a view a marine working together and you look at his fees what was it do you think that made your working relationship work so well obviously the same black sense of humor but there's going to be a lot more than that carry you through was a. yeah i mean i don't honestly think it boiled back to how we first met in syria i think it was this even fourteen years ago i just tried to build a boat and sneak into iraq on this homemade boat and no one else would talk to me when i got captured all of the genocide you spoke to but everyone but marie walked and i was sitting in the boat on my own and she just walked in she went. to the boat. and i kept that brought them to me three put me so i read it was quote my i

want to buy you a whisky ok i know that you've inherited your sister's journalism skills because the boat was made out of what can you ask that question i don't see. why it was made out of what paul i had been a fan it was made that was of fallout in a true a ball of string and the some spare. that was very classy talk to someone to talk offense thank you for. i want to share this this is from sylvia who says now what stands out stands out the most to her about marie is bearing witness i think that this was really marie colvin's vocation by reading articles from different war zones we were witnesses to and we couldn't say any more that we didn't know chris i want to direct this one to you because in making this film and watching it there is no way to say that we didn't know even if you missed what happened back at the start of the syrian war does this resonate with you

yeah absolutely i mean you know one of the things in making it it's taken us a while to make the film i mean these are big these are big productions and financially and just logistically and so you know we've we've been working on it the course of the whole syrian. catastrophe really i think is the only word that you could that i could use and a lot of people you know a lot of people that we spoke to syrian people that we were looking for for archive of the time i mean there was an incredible understandable disillusionment that set in and they really didn't want to actually talk to a lot of western journalists that had enough because nothing had happened and then as soon as you mention the rian paul you know the lights go on and yeah we'll help you what you want and suddenly the gates opened and i talked to them about it and they said to me very clearly they are the only people who actually understood what

we went through you know and they that they actually lived through it and you know tragically for marie paid the same kind of price that that that they paid so. i mean i'm not saying that you have to lose your life to be special but i think it sort of shows something about about what marie did you know and how far she would take it and pull together and how much it meant to people on the ground i mean it meant a lot you know i know that for a fact from the people who spent because i want to give people a sense of how many things how the story and how you get poor and marry into syria in your documentary have a look at what ever they does why it's. the buzz in their minds is a millimeter guns. in the soldiers' news is fifty yards away. rate this if it is.

a shot always in the past on the shadow. the shadow gives it to another shadow. and then just a little flash of a line of a true. i don't know if it's it's a moment when there is it's a truck i don't know i just. run. i just see my brain. remains and you know and she just loved the machine and.

indeed paul we got this week on that experience. out of the matter question said she has how does it enter syria and did you have any protection from the government or into how to talk to us about that and you say that it was basically pits black shadowy and you're just kind of following along in the dark what was that like. that i mean it was it was a leap of faith a lot of it we met people in beirut and it took a long time to establish contacts and we were literally put into a truck taken affair that taken out and you know we think was a minefield we went through and then we were just given to the people we had no protection the only the only information we had was that lebanese intelligence had told us that. any journalists found in or around homs were to be executed and have the bodies thrown on the battlefield so we kind of knew that going in which i didn't obviously at that the know the layout of. trepidation but it was very much

a leap of faith and just to trust that the people you would get passed on to work with the right people. you know probably one of the most terrifying things that memory that was that was that first journey and it was a real them test of anyone's mouth i think somebody took that journey with you and stay with the why you're in homs and his name is why al he's a remarkable young syrian can you talk to us about how important he was because he wouldn't leave here absolutely while i mean honestly if there's any you know i don't use the word a lot if i very rarely use it but while in my mind was a hero the moment while and he wouldn't accept any payment it's just one to that there was peace. and he was just so integrity to everything and communications became you know fluent understood subtlety and nuance and after

the you know he was really badly injured in the attack and he would not leave you know he knew. really well he grew up there is a kid he played that he knew the ways in and out and you know he just would not leave you know such a person of on a you really don't meet too many people like that told i tell you something about why else he got. you know it's a way out when when we were looking for i hope he doesn't mind me saying this type of telling you this but when we hear when we contacted him he lives in scandinavia now and we had to arrange for a visa for him to come to england and he was late for the. interview at the embassy and we said you know why are you late he said oh i just didn't have the money for the taxi. so when he came to england i cut him an envelope and we had some money in it and i wrote to mrs y.l. and i said in england we have a tradition you know that if someone comes over from a foreign country to do an interview we give them you know this this thing and he

just looked at me and he does when that. nice try but my wife wouldn't take it. you know i think it's you know you know you it's it's almost like i don't know what do you think about this i know you think this paul but when you you know you meet like a man or a woman or would have but a person of just absolute honor you know and he really is you know in this game you know you meet a lot of in this business you meet a lot of people really impressive people who've been through things but well really stands out for me i mean that guy is an honorable honorable man and you know he's a fine representative of his country and you know i salute him really he's a he's the he's that for me he's the sort of unsung hero of the you know i we don't know me so you know. you know he's a really really top person that totally agree and are just everybody is very

supportive of that lawsuit that i brought against syria and he was that one of the first people that my attorneys at the center for justice and accountability interview and he just he was. supportive isn't even a word he was sort of proud of me i'm humble i guess but i think you know he didn't take credit that he was really into it also that lawsuit. i know that definitely showed in the film the person of integrity that he was but in addition to that so many questions that we're getting here for you paul i want to bring up just to this is serious he says how you got out of problems with your leg injury after the trauma of losing both memory.
