Warshots

Deutschland 1996 Spielfilm

Warshots ("What′s the big difference between a Leica and a Kalashnikov?")

Civil war in North Africa. The United Nations sends troops. The international press sends reporters. Just another consignment for Jan Loy and Maynard Wilhelm.

 

They know their colleagues from the last job in Sarajevo, Grozny, or some other corner of the world which looked different when they left, to what they saw when they came. Jan Loy is one of their stars. A photo-grapher. Weighed down with awards. Renowed for his ruthlessly perfect "eye". He stalks violence and finds it. He tames it in his pictures and it makes him famous. But it gets him in the end.
