Another one for @overlookedwwiimedia's 'Upcoming World War Two Movies' and a subject near and dear to my heart -

A biopic of Lee Miller, fashion model and Man Ray muse who went on to become one of the most widely recognized war correspondents of World War Two.

There's a couple of stills up on the IMDB page and it looks like it's going to be pretty good.

Probably a fluke in printing process, the thicker net midriff coverage.

"Η προσφυγική κρίση μού δημιούργησε βέβαια και ενοχές, γιατί συχνά με στοιχειώνουν τα ερωτήματα, μήπως μπορώ να κάνω κάτι παραπάνω, μήπως δεν κάνω αρκετά; Μέσα από τις φωτογραφίες μου, βοήθησα, από τον Μάρτιο του 2015 που ξεκίνησα, να μπει το προσφυγικό ζήτημα στον χάρτη. Δέκα μήνες μετά όμως άρχισα να βλέπω εφιάλτες. Εβλεπα την κόρη μου να πνίγεται, τη γυναίκα μου να κινδυνεύει. Αισθάνθηκα συναισθηματικά πολύ επιβαρυμένος… Σίγουρα είδα την ελπίδα μέσα σε αυτή την κρίση. Είδα την άνευ όρων αγάπη των γονιών για τα παιδιά τους. Είδα την αλληλεγγύη. Μέσα στη μιζέρια και στο δράμα, τα μηνύματα ελπίδας έχουν ακόμη μεγαλύτερη δύναμη. Ενα φιλί, μια αγκαλιά, η αυτοθυσία είναι το μήνυμα του κόσμου ότι υπάρχει η ελπίδα και υπάρχει το αύριο"
