Wars and conflicts characterize the modern news landscape. Critical journalism in crisis regions poses a particular challenge, especially for female journalists working in patriarchal countries. Director Lotta Pommerien accompanies three German women who work in Africa, Asia and on Europe's external border. Silke Diettrich reports on Afghanistan for ARD from India. Simone Schlindwein is a correspondent for the taz and covers Congo, among other places. Juliane Tutein is a freelance journalist reporting on Ukraine and Belarus. All three give a frank insight into their job and its limits.
