Barcelona — Hernán Zin’s latest documentary “Dying to Tell,” a best doc winner at September’s Montreal World Film Festival and last month’s Valladolid Intl. Film Festival, chronicles the aims and personal cost of war correspondents.
Zin has spent more than 20 years in the world’s fiercest conflict zones –Bosnia, Sierra Leona, Rwanda, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan– along with Spanish comrades, several of them dead due to tragic circumstances –Julio Anguita, Ricardo Ortega, Julio Fuentes, José Couso and Miguel Gil. In 2012 in Afghanistan, Zin suffered a panic attack and decided it was time to stop. “Dying to Tell” is the result of that break.
The film is produced by his company Contramedia Films with Quexito Films and Spanish pubcaster Rtve. Zin talked with Variety about the cost of his career,
There’s a sentence in the film –”all that dies within us to tell a story.” What has been the personal cost of your job?...

When a Poland television station reached out to Polish journalist Wojciech Jagielski for his thoughts on Joseph Kony, Jagielski thought Kony was captured or killed. “I asked what they wanted to do with Kony,” Jagielski said. “And the answer was that they wanted to show how evil he is, so I didn’t even know how to react.
