Synopsis
The story of American photographer Lee Miller, a fashion model who becomes an award-winning war correspondent for Vogue magazine during World War II. Miller is denied access to Hitler’s apartment because it is “for officers only.” War correspondents were given the rank of captain, so, technically, the US Army guard had to accept it.

We were lucky enough to catch a preview of "Lee" tonight and what a film it is
This biopic about Lee Miller is not only a moving look at her incredible life, but also a powerful reminder of the horrors of war. As a pioneering photographer and war correspondent, the film captures the devastating things she witnessed and the emotional toll it took on her.
The narrative is compelling and moving, offering a profound look at resilience, artistry and humanity in the face of such atrocities
I highly recommend watching it when it comes out in Australia later this month – it’s a film that will stay with you.
