Synopsis
LEE tells the story of Lee Miller, American photographer.
Determined to document the truth of the Nazi regime, and in spite of the odds stacked against female correspondents, Lee captured some of the
most important images of World War II, for which she paid an enormous personal price.
The film is not a biopic, instead it explores the most significant decade of Lee Miller’s life.
As a middle-aged woman, she refused to be remembered as a model and male artists’ muse.
Lee Miller defied the expectations and rules of the time and travelled to Europe to report from the frontline.
There, in part as a reaction to her own well-hidden trauma, she used her Rolleiflex camera to give a voice to the voiceless.
What Lee captured on film in Dachau and throughout Europe was shocking and horrific.
Her photographs of the war, its victims and its consequences remain among the most significant and historically important of the Second World War.
She changed war photography forever, but Lee paid an enormous personal price for what she witnessed and the stories she fought to tell.
