Adam Driver stars in ‘Ferrari’ (Photo Credit Eros Hoagland / Neon)
For the better part of 20 years, director Michael Mann has wanted to tell the Enzo Ferrari story. He was even briefly attached to direct the 2019 movie Ford v Ferrari that was eventually helmed by James Mangold (although Mann still retained an Executive Producer credit). Now, he’s finally getting to tell his Ferrari story with the simply titled Ferrari.
Ferrari stars Adam Driver as ex-racecar driver and automobile industry mogul Enzo Ferrari. Enzo’s company is on the verge of collapse, so he decides the best way to save it is to win the ill-fated 1957 Mille Miglia, a treacherous 1000-mile race across the roads of Italy.
Along with attempting to salvage his crumbling empire, Enzo also has to balance a wife who is grieving from the loss of their son (Penélope Cruz from Parallel Mothers) and a mistress with whom...

A documentary about the award-winning photographer Jason P Howe focuses on the motivation behind the seeming heroism of working on the frontlines
British-born freelance photographer Jason P Howe opens up to director Harold Monfils’s camera about the highs and lows of his career, shooting war zones and living large in this guts-and-glory work of non-fiction. Although his early years and background are only glancingly referred to (he was raised a Jehovah’s Witness, which he claims stops him from fearing death; his brother Andrew is a soldier), this pacey documentary covers the main points, such as how he was inspired by the work of Vietnam war photographer Tim Page (also interviewed here) and ended up among the Farc rebels in Colombia. This is where he had a relationship with a local woman named Marilyn, who turned out to be a professional assassin, which led to a degree of fame after their story was published,...

HBO has developed some of the best content in the history of television. It happened to develop a series so incredible and powerful that I found myself engrossed in literally every second of every episode. That series was Witness, a 4-part documentary on conflict photographers all over the world.
Unquestionably, the series' most impressive photojournalist is Eros Hoagland, whose father was a photographer in South America. His father served as loose inspiration for the James Woods character in Oliver Stone's Salvador. Hoagland, like his father, found himself drawn to South America and Mexico, where his images tell the story of drugs, violence and the uglier side of the human condition.

Witness: A World in Conflict Through A Lens
Witness: A World in Conflict Through A Lens is a four-part HBO Documentary Films TV miniseries that examines present-day conflict zones in Mexico, Libya, South Sudan and Brazil, as shown through the lenses of three war photographers.
Some of the world’s most dangerous places are never declared war zones, but cities and regions where drug trafficking, poverty, gang violence, political corruption and ethnic warfare have combined to create the most violent hotspots on Earth. Only a handful of photojournalists remain in these zones major news organizations have left, armed with just their cameras, to document what’s happening and attempt to make sense of the complicated issues that perpetuate in these locations. Witness follows three young combat photographers—Eros Hoagland, who explores the gang-and-drug related violence in both Juarez, Mexico and Rio de Janeiro,...

"Witness," HBO's recent documentary series about photojournalists working in conflict zones around the globe, premiered the final of its four installments on Monday, with an hour spent following photojournalist Eros Hoagland as he explored the battles between favela gangs, police and monied forces making land grabs in Rio de Janeiro. The series offers an unsettlingly beautiful and intriguingly subjective viewpoint on a set of complicated contemporary struggles, from the cartel-fueled violence in Ciudad Juárez to the battles with the Lord's Resistance Army in South Sudan and internecine warring in Libya. Executive produced by filmmakers Michael Mann and David Frankham (who directed three of the four episodes), the "Witness" docs are haunted by the death of the late photojournalist and "Restrepo" co-director Tim Hetherington, whom Mann met during the 2010 awards season and who was slated to direct and serve as the on-camera...

The Internet may be taking its toll on print journalism, but war photography is alive and well. Last week, Michael Mann (The Insider, Ali, Heat) and documentary director David Frankham launched a four-part documentary series on HBO called Witness, which follows seasoned war photographers through some of the most dangerous conflict zones on earth. Eros Hoagland, whose father was killed during his own work as a war photographer, takes viewers to Juarez, Mexico, and the favelas of Rio de Janeiro; French photojournalist Veronique de Viguerie, notorious for embedding with the Taliban, leads us through the jungles of South Sudan; and Michael Christopher Brown,...

HBO’s four-part documentary series Witness, about combat photographers, is harrowing and ambitious. Executive produced by filmmaker Michael Mann (Heat, Miami Vice) and documentarian David Frankham (who helmed three of the four episodes), the series explores war-torn nations via striking images (both still and video) and sketches portraits of photographers. It’s powerful and illuminating in some ways and unsatisfying in others.Tonight’s premiere, “Juarez,” is unfortunately the weakest of the episodes. Its view of drug violence in Cuidad Juarez, Mexico, feels both reportorial and impressionistic. The images, dialogue, location sound, and pop soundtrack merge into a trancelike whole. You know where you are, and yet you don’t know where you are. Then the episode’s subject, photographer Eros Hoagland, and various on-the-scene participants give you a few appalling tidbits: The war has claimed 100 Mexican soldiers and 19,000 civilians. The Mexican army may be responsible for the vast majority of killings,...

Everyday, from the around the world, we receive images in our newspapers, magazines, inboxes and online articles dispatched from some of the most dangerous places on Earth. Usually accompanied by an article or text giving an overview of the situation from whatever far flung place the pictures are coming from, we're usually on to the rest of our day before that image has a chance to linger. And given that the media tends to work in cycles, while situations in places that made headlines months ago may still be evolving, reporters in general are on to the next thing. But that's where "Witness" comes in. The four-part series starting this week on HBO is executive produced by Michael Mann and David Frankham, and it takes viewers right on the ground with three seasoned photojournalists: Eros Hoagland ("Juarez" and "Rio"), Michael Christopher Brown ("Libya") and Veronique de Viguerie ("South Sudan"). Immersive and powerful,...
