Heineman, just 34, has been nominated for an Academy Award for his documentary Cartel Land, but has never made a narrative feature film. Colvin was a paradox—a fount of exuberance with devoted friends whom she would regale with stories from the field, shaped into performances that camouflaged the raw truth. She was not interested in the strategy of war but rather in the real human dramas of those who have suffered the consequences. Marie Colvin had a mission that she turned into a vocation: to go to the most violent places on earth and bear witness to what man does to man, no matter the personal toll.

A biography, written by her colleague Lindsey Hilsum, was published last year, while the article on which A Private War was based can be found on the Vanity Fair website. For all that, Pike believes drama can still have a role in bringing Colvin's story and the plights of the people she wrote about to a wider audience. It will go on general release on 15 February.
