Lee (Roadside Attractions / Vertical) Starring: Kate Winslet, Josh O’Connor, Andrea Riseborough, Andy Samberg, Alexander Skarsgård,
LEE, the directorial feature from award-winning Cinematographer Ellen Kuras, portrays a pivotal decade in the life of American war correspondent and photographer, Lee Miller (Kate Winslett). Miller’s singular talent and unbridled tenacity resulted in some of the 20th century's most indelible images of war, including an iconic photo of Miller herself, posing defiantly in Hitler's private bathtub.
Miller had a profound understanding and empathy for women and the voiceless victims of war. Her images display both the fragility and ferocity of the human experience. Above all, the film shows how Miller lived her life at full throttle in pursuit of truth, for which she paid a huge personal price, forcing her to confront a traumatic and deeply buried secret from her childhood.
Directed By Ellen Kuras
Produced By Kate Solomon, Kate Winslet, Troy Lum, Andrew Mason, Marie Savare, Lauren Hantz

00:00You must be Lee Miller.
00:25It's a war zone, Colonel.
00:28Just Lee is fine.
00:30Just Lee.
00:31We don't send women to combat.
00:38Well that's a problem, because I'm here.
00:41Welcome to Vogue Magazine.
00:43I hear you're the woman to see about a job.
00:45Audrey Withers.
00:46Yes, I am.
00:47I've seen your photographic work.
00:48You're really very impressive.
00:54You dislike anyone who questions you.
00:57Especially when you know you're wrong, and you have secrets, many, that you'll never
01:04share.
01:06I'm never wrong.
01:07That's our Lee.
01:08It happened so slowly, yet kind of overnight.
01:17We woke up one morning, and Europe was at war.
01:20Only non-military access to women.
01:22I just want to do my part.
01:25Why should the men get to decide what that is?
01:28I'm heading to the front.
01:29Ready to go?
01:32That's not what I thought you were going to say.
01:35We drove into the worst of it all.
01:39Need a light over here.
01:42Here, here.
01:43I stay away from that window.
01:47They got snipers.
01:48They're gone.
01:49Everyone's gone.
01:51Even when I wanted to look away, I knew I couldn't.
02:15It was not something I'd heard about or imagined.
02:18Let's go!
02:23It was real.
