HONDROS follows the life and career of famous war photographer Chris Hondros by exploring the poignant and often surprising stories behind this award-winning photojournalist's best-known photos.

HONDROS explores the complexities inherent in covering more than a decade of conflict, while trying to maintain a normal life.
