A new documentary from National Geographic, <a href="https://www.hulu.com/movie/lovewar-176fc769-62bc-4232-876f-eb83294e30a2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Love+War</a>, explores not only her extraordinary career in conflict zones but also her life at home in London with her husband and their two young sons. Addario sat down with Apple News In Conversation host Shumita Basu to talk about her high-risk work, motherhood, and what the film reveals about the complexity of both.
