The drive to become a journalist stems from a commitment to truth and justice, often at personal risk. The article reflects on the author's struggles with confronting difficult questions in interviews, highlighting the courage required to be a journalist. Through portraying Anna Politkovskaya in the film 'Words of War,' the author gained insight into the dangers journalists face, especially given the alarming number of killings in recent years, with many occurring in conflict zones. This serves as a tribute to those dedicated to informing the world despite these threats.
It's a privilege being an actor as it allows me to explore the realities of journalists like Anna Politkovskaya from a safe distance, realizing their extraordinary bravery.
Journalism has become increasingly dangerous, with over 1,800 journalists killed since 1992, and last year marking the deadliest in three decades.
