Gregg Goldstein When you’ve spent the most memorable years of your career battling gods and single-handedly defeating an army, what’s left for a warrior to do? For “Xena: Warrior Princess” star Lucy Lawless, the answer was making her directorial debut with a doc about a fellow New Zealand icon, daredevil CNN war camerawoman Margaret Moth.
Her spellbinding feature, “Never Look Away,” which premieres Jan. 18 at Sundance, was selected for the fest’s World Cinema Documentary Competition.
It’s a remarkable achievement, especially when you consider that she hadn’t even helmed a short before making it. “I received an email from [CNN cameraman] Joe Duran saying, ‘Would you want to make a movie about my best friend Margaret?’ It took about 90 seconds for me to say ‘Yes!’” says Lawless, speaking from her home in Auckland, New Zealand.
She had no direct connection to Moth, other than recalling the moment the famed journalist was grievously injured in the early 1990s. “She was Australasia’s first female cameraman, a trailblazer and a shocking iconoclast without even trying,” Lawless says.
“She refused to participate in anything one might call ‘normal’ and became the ringleader of this group of misfits and thrill seekers, the queen of the night. Eventually she got a job at CNN and went off to war, which changed the trajectory of her life massively.” The film captures its protagonist’s complicated personal life through interviews with two of her lovers, tracing the roots of her behavior to a troubled childhood before chronicling her fearless career through her tumultuous war footage and remembrances from colleagues like CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.
