About the Film
The story of American photographer Lee Miller, a fashion model who became an acclaimed war correspondent for Vogue magazine during World War II.
“Lee” begins in the late 1930s, as Hitler is amassing power in Germany. Elizabeth “Lee” Miller (Kate Winslet), already a renowned photographer, gains a job completing assignments for British Vogue, but is shocked by the restrictions placed on female photographers. As Hitler’s regime takes over Europe, Lee grows increasingly frustrated that her work is constrained by patriarchal rules and is determined to be where the action is. She defiantly pushes against the establishment and, with the blessing of her friend and editor Audrey Withers, overcomes enormous obstacles to get herself to the frontline of World War II.
Compelled to document the truth, Lee turns her lens in the direction of suffering and slowly begins to reveal the horrific loss of life due to Hitler’s diabolical crimes against the innocent victims of his regime. Lee Miller carried out this dangerous work for the sake of the female readers of Vogue magazine, from whom the reality of war was largely kept hidden, and in the process yielded an indelible series of pictures which to this day continue to shape how we view these events.
