The permits are off in that direction, somewhere. We cant see them today, too much pollution. Sometimes, if i want to warm up a picture it is a good little trick. I want to drop that would take me traveling around the world. My parents cut National Geographic magazine and i love, looking at all the photos. They were taken all over the world and i thought i want a job that will take me traveling. I want to see elephants. Get in the car mary. You guys. Wait. [inaudible] when i was little, there is Nothing Better than going out on my bicycle. And i could really like, almost close my eyes and go back to seeing that kid. And i literally would ride my bike to china. To me, that was just a dream. Im gonna go to china one day. [inaudible] and i fought for years to get that position. And they would say that right. I do think i was born to be a news cameraman. One of the first jobs i had at cnn was editing. They decided they would rotate the editors out into the field to work with the camera people. What i got outside the building, i was like, im never going back in the building. Fourth grade, my teacher wants to give a gift to the world. My gift to the world of the camera. I was worried about people and more. I want to help make peace. And i wanted to help people understand each other, and i felt like with a camera we could understand with to other. All of us, we are like front line combat camera women. Right . We would come back with the goods. I think the five of us, we all had the same dream. We wanted to tell stories. We wanted the rest of the world to see these stories. And understand what was going on in the world. Some people just arent cut out for an ordinary life. [noise] [inaudible] [noise] as a photographer you have a daunting responsibility, because, what you are doing is witnessing the event for the world. There is such a power in pictures. People often will remember only the photographs. In the early 80s, you just didnt see that many female photojournalist. So, people are often surprised, or people would ask if you are carrying the equipment for the camera man. We were just as good as the guys, we are just as brave as the guys. It is like, scooter tripod over, we are here. Please. Theyve cameraman lays the trail that they didnt even know they were blazing at the time. They were incredibly brave, incredibly resourceful, there are tough, there is a little bit of Competition Among them but they supported each other, because they knew that being a female and its traditionally male dominated business. They needed support from your fellow sisters. I grew up alongside these camerawoman. They have a lot to teach me. I was delighted to be with the sisterhood. It is a sisterhood. When you go into these situations. They are very difficult. They are very scary. It is nice to know that someone understands what youve been through. Theres not that many people that understand. What youve been through. You might have heard of carvana and that we sell cars online. What you probably didnt know is that were in the business of making you happy. We believe buying a car should be something that gets you hyped up. That you should be empowered to shop when you want, where you want, wearing whatever you want. And that your new car ought to come with Newfound Happiness. And zero surprises. So we promise that well treat you right. Well put you in control. And all of us will stop at nothing to drive you happy. Well drive you happy. At carvana. There was a certain understanding. We had each others backs. We all commanded a lot of attention in the group because it was unusual to have that many women working together. We were breaking down certain barriers and conceptions about women in the field, and women in the front lines. [noise] the only people that really put their lives on the line are the camera people. [noise] they were not there simply to make pictures, they were there to get to the truth. Being a camera woman is a tough job, it is physically very demanding. I got beaten up a lot back then. The cops hide me one day and threw us in the back of a cup car, all of our gear, off we went. We got interrogated for about 6 46 hours. Then they said, okay go. It can be a very aggressive business. Who are you . Go, go. If you are women showing up on the scene with a bunch of men, sometimes ben think they can have the advantage over you professionally. We always had to stay on guard about that and make sure people knew that we were serious. I had to be twice as good, twice as fast, just to be on the equal Playing Ground as a guy. I had to work harder, i had to be better to be seen as an equal. In somalia, there was this gi that said to marry, need any help carrying that camera man . Mary said, no, Unity Health Care your gun . If i had 1 for every time somebody asked me how much the camera weighed, i could have retired. Whats up mary . What are you doing today . What do you think we are doing, then. Its another day of fun and games. Mary is outrageous and energetic, and not to be stopped, and not to be told no. She just never winds down. Mary is still kicking butt. She is still on the big stories, she is still doing incredibly brave camerawork, journalism. [speaking foreign language] [noise] we are giving doing a developing story, that will happen tomorrow. In the meantime, doesnt get better than this . Look. No shoes. These boys need to save their mo for the fight. This is from a bullet casing, too much celebratory gunfire. Mary is a lot of fun to work with. Mary is almost resistant to tear gas. Its almost like she drinks target grass for breakfast and then sets off for the day with her coffee. What did you see . What did i see . More like what i smelled. I was blinded by their gas, they got nasty so fast. What is unique about mary is her perseverance. This is a physically, mentally, and in every respect, demanding job. It is difficult. Here she is. Ive known mary for 24 years. She has the same level of enthusiasm and attention to detail, and a demand that others maintain that kind of focus. I dont think you see that in many other people in this business. This is our glamorous workstation over here today. We are charging batteries and running generator power. There is no electricity out here. It is a camping trip. No running water, for me the biggest challenge as the only woman of this group here. You can see, come out here, the biggest challenge for me is if i have to p, where do i go . Do you see a rock to hide behind . I certainly dont. It is nice to sleep outside. You can see so many stars tonight. The entire milky way galaxy. How often do people get to see that . Id like to thank our sponsor liberty mutual. They customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. Contestants ready . Go only pay for what you need. Jingle liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. [noise ] i was lucky to cover a huge chunk of the arab spring and lyft to tell the tale. Lucky. Somebody said im like a cat, i have nine lives. Its like no, dont say that. That would say that. [noise] several days into the beginning of the revolution in egypt, i called it the bat of karate, there is big battles going on. This, bridge on the street. But later on in the day, and this was a goose bump. It was historic. The moment that Egyptian Army tanks and abcs pulled up this street. A Dramatic Development here. You have to say what youre seeing is dozens of trucks full of riot police. I see a large column of black smoke. Earlier that day, it started out ugly for me, because i had a camera and ripped it out of my head. He took it and ran off. I dont know whats, quiet but we are going. But [noise] [noise] [inaudible] we were in and out of different front lines along the way. Every time, every time there are a couple of close calls. You guys. Wait. The driver starts to take off. All i was thinking was, this is happened to me, ive had a driver leave during an ambush. Are you in . Mary simon. We are leaving this area. Afraid. Its like a war zone, you know. Im not an adrenaline junkie. Thought about the front lines and bang bang with me. In worsens, where care about the most, are the civilians. The human beings through no choice of their own who are forced to live in these places. As we are covering the battle for west mosul. The amount of destruction was unbelievable. The citizens of mosul, were under isis control for three years. It must have been really bad living under it. The people that would come out, that had hid in their house, four days, with no food or water. You, know the looks on their faces. I really felt for them. The things people had to resort to, to survive. They were incredible. It is important to let these people talk. So they can tell their stories. [speaking foreign language] that is important to me. Kids should never have to experience war. They just couldnt. We were told, super young, that you have to be tough, you have to be macho in a male perspective. You feel like, you know, youre not able to open up and, you know, be vulnerable with your feelings, you know what i mean. You have this idea of this machismo, right . Like that you have to always be the toughest, the strongest. For me as a man, its about opening up. Not feeling too macho to tell someone how youre feeling when youre feeling down. Opening up your heart and sharing with other people the way that youre feeling. I have a twin sister who, when im sad, i call her and talk to her and we normally have the same feelings. I face time, my grandchildren. That always seems to kind of give me a boost, even when youre having your darkest moments. Kicking the stigma means talking about it. Its something that a lot of people go through. Its normal. Nothings wrong with you. And in fact, come join us because we all feel this way. Its okay to feel not okay. Kicking the stigma. This is bad. [inaudible] [noise] its like the world just stop want a permanent solution to homelessness . You wont get it with prop 27. It was written and funded by outofstate corporations to permanently maximize profits, not homeless funding. 90 of the profits go to outofstate corporations permanently. Only pennies on the dollar for the homeless permanently. And with loopholes, the homeless get even less permanently. Prop 27. They didnt write it for the homeless. They wrote it for themselves. With mary and cindy maria, we have always talked, we talked about life, we talked about personal things, we talked about things that upset us. We really talked. We really talked, we really knew each other. I think thats why we became all such good friends. That was our family. [laughs] [inaudible] i must tell you, is time to go away. You must go now. ,. Got out of college, wanted a job, got an interview, very excited. And the News Director basically statue down and he said i have brought you here because i am not with to give you a job. I brought you here to tell you that you are a girl, and you cant do this job. I was flabbergasted. I couldnt believe it. I thought im going to prove you wrong. Because i can, i always knew i could. There is a job opening in lebanon and i wanted it. I wanted to be there, i want to take pictures, it was my passion. I was 20, 1 22. Seeing more itself for the first time, getting shot at, seeing people get shot. Seeing the aftermath of a massacre. It was sometimes it wasnt easy at all. Two young palestinians, with a day before allegedly killed in rob a local palestinian, are brought out and a militia man says he will execute them now in front of our cameras. Cnns, jane evans, is taken by surprise at such an offer. No, no. They are not executed. The people that were there were not sure if they want to the girl as the camera person. But we are sent out on these stories. And there are very dangerous. There was a lot of shelling going on. A lot of student going on. We got right in the middle of it. [noise] we have to hunker down a few times from the snipers. It was frightening. But weve got the story. And i got the job. Weijia we all just love the visuals. We all just not being there, in that moment, when history is happening. Please raise your right hand and say so help me god. So help me god. There is nothing like it. Sydney is amazing, i love her, shes assistant to me. She is so funny. Shes a brilliant photographer. She is so creative. Sydney was just known as like, such a great camera woman. What she brought, visually, to a story. Was just phenomenal. And, you can almost just use her pictures and to help with the correspondence. In 1986 i moved to china to study chinese. It was a calculated risk, because i knew cnn was gonna open a beer and china in a year. All the things went well. I traveled across the country, fortunately, cnn i opened the first bureau in 1987. I was given the camera job. It was an incredible time in china, because, the young people stood up they said. We dont like this. For the first time in the lives they were driving fast, they were not obeying their elders, there are staging this big sit in internment square, and was the most amazing [noise] [speaking foreign language] [speaking foreign language] i thought the biggest cause i knew theyre gonna climb founded at. Night that particular night, i knew was gonna be the night. I felt it in my bones. The government was gonna shut this down. You are it. You are the one thats got to see it. You are the one whos going to record it. Thats why you are a journalist. So we stayed. We start to get reports that the tanks were coming. Theres flames in the distance. Were starting to hear both cracking down the street. Not just things, ink but pretty heavy fire. And bodies coming into the square. We snuck around the back, it started talking to people as they left. Do you think anybody got killed . Of course, i am sure, very sure. Many students were killed. How do you feel right now . We are right now . Im very angry. To this day we dont know how many people died on the access roads and roads to the square. We still dont know how many people died that night. vo hi. Were visible.

Seen it. Trust me, after 15 walks it gets a little old. I really should be retired by now. Wish id invested when i had the chance. To the moon [golf ball bounces off rover] unbelievable. Ugh. [ding] people often said that our images look different. That they could tell there was Something Different about the images that we, as women, made. I can just tell you that we were really good camera women. You we were really good photographers. And i think we did see things that other people didnt see. Ill wear the mullet together we took beautiful images. Maria, is in many ways, unflappable. Maybe she had fair but you would never see it. She would go to every frontline. Ive never known maria to not go someplace. The job of a camera woman is very humbling. People allow us to see them at the most vulnerable. At the worst point in their lives. It is always amazing to me that they do allow that. It is a privilege, to be able to tell these stories. I have always felt very strongly, since i started going out to the field and covering the stories. Especially the stories of a people, and civil unrest, and war. Refugees. I have felt very strongly that they need to be told. I can really barely say the word refugee without tearing up, because we see so many refugees. Running from horrible things. You come and you see that and you try to tell those people stories. And then after a week or two weeks you leave and you go back to your life. Tear nice life. And you know these people are still there, and that mountainside, and that, tent still struggling. The guilt is the hardest thing. Thats the hardest thing i think we deal with this camera women. [speaking foreign language] the advent of more women in the field, particularly women cameron people. Coincided with a different type of storytelling. Because boris became different. There was an Ethnic Cleansing that was beginning to be recognized. It led to a genocide. This was a place where the world did not want to hear the truth. Women, in bosnia, are being targeted by the people in the hills, by the shelling, when they went out to collect water or when they went to the bread lines. Women and children were also deliberately targeted. Not just men. And i think, perhaps, a womans touch, whether view through the camera, of what a woman focuses on. Whether the sound, maybe the crying, or the sighing. Focusing on the very Human Aspects of these conflicts. Whether it is war, or famine. I do think storytelling changed and women were at the forefront of that movement. I was kind of spooked by the story. Because they were targeting journalists. They were specifically shooting journalists. Journalists were considered part of the problem. Aged journalists were considered, fair game. A whenever margaret showed up, it was full on. Later she was an individual. She was unlike anybody else. Hey she had no fair. Margaret was one tough cookie. There was no two ways about it. The way she looked, with that gothic. Look with the black hair, the black eyes, the black clothes. You didnt cross margaret lightly. You didnt make small talk with margaret. She was somebody that i took really seriously. My first two weeks in bosnia, we did some really dangerous stuff. Who crossed fought live together. Margaret, you know, did what it took to tell the story. And she never complained. And nothing was ever too much or ever too dangerous for her. You need to know when you develop that instinct had to leave a situation. To get out when you still can. I took a break after two weeks of b
