'It's amazing how you can tell it's blood, even in black and white. It looks sort of thick, doesn't it?' 'You can tell it's blood because it's coming out of a person. Buckets of it. And she's got a massive hole in her chest.' Urgent, awkward, funny, moving, timely. Safety is the story of Michael, a war photographer who is celebrated as producing some of the most iconic images of conflict from the late 20th century. Now in his mid 40's and on a major retrospective of his work, Michael is being forced to reconsider his roles as a reporter, a husband who's never there and a father who hesitated when his daughter needed him most.
