Lucy Lawless Debuts as Director with 'Never Look Away' at Sundance

The documentary, highlighting the life and work of war journalist Margaret Moth, marks a new chapter for the former 'Xena: Warrior Princess' star.

Lucy Lawless, best known for her role as Xena: Warrior Princess, has made her directorial debut with the documentary 'Never Look Away', which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
The documentary tells the story of New Zealander journalist Margaret Moth, who was known for her work on the front lines of war.
Lawless was inspired to direct the film after being contacted by Joe Duran, a former CNN cameraman and friend of Moth, who suggested she would be the perfect person to bring Moth's story to life.
Despite her initial hesitations about directing, Lawless found a connection with Moth, describing her as a 'warrior princess' in her own right.
Lawless hopes the film will bring greater recognition to the dangers faced by journalists in conflict zones and the importance of their work.
