R: Timothy Alistair Hetherington 1970-2011
Some very tragic news surfaces today as co-director of the Oscar-nominated documentary Restrepo, Tim Hetherington has been killed in Libya.
Hetherington was a war correspondent and was with a team of other war photographers, Chris Hondros and Guy Martin, covering the conflict in Libya.
The group were in Misurata which became besieged on Wednesday and amid the violence Hetherington was killed.
Hondros and Martin are in severe critical conditions in hospital.
This is of course very unsettling, The New York Times have said that several hundred Libyan civilians have been killed in the Misurata area of Libya.
Hetherington’s final tweet shows the madness of the situation there: In besieged Libyan city of Misrata. Indiscriminate shelling by Qaddafi forces. No sign of NATO.
Our thoughts and condolences are with Tim Hetherington’s family at this very sad moment. April 20th, 2011 http://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/restrepo-codirector-tim-hetherington-killed-libya/

Timothy Alistair Hetherington 1970-2011
The photographer and film-maker Tim Hetherington was killed at the age of 40 while covering the escalating violence in Misrata, Libya (...).
The canon of work he bequeaths defines a generation of reportage.
His eye and ability for capturing on film some of the most disturbing events of the past decade was as relentless as it was unsurpassed.
With a great sense of self-deprecation and humanity, Hetherington was driven repeatedly to explore the ragged, violent margins of society to bring back portraits of people profoundly affected by conflict. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/apr/21/tim-hetherington-obituary
