A documentary about the life and work of the iconic American photographer - directed by her sister, Barbara Leibovitz. Almost as famous as the people she photographs, Annie Leibovitz is one of America’s most celebrated portrait photographers, capturing her subjects from Demi Moore and Nicole Kidman to the George W.Bush cabinet with often theatrical or provocative imagination, her work regularly adorning the covers of Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair and the New Yorker since the early 1980s. Annie’s own life has been private and protected, but this documentary feature follows Annie Leibovitz s career of more than 30 years, reflecting on the influence of her relationship with partner Susan Sontag, and featuring interviews with Graydon Carter, Rosanne Cash, Hillary Rodham Clinton,Whoopi Goldberg, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Yoko Ono and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gloria Steinem and AnnaWintour.
