Lucy Lawless made a name for herself playing a Warrior Princess.
Her roles after that have been of equally strong women - so it should come as no surprise that Lawless' directorial debut is a documentary on fearless Kiwi war camerawoman Margaret Moth.
Margaret's story of being shot in the face by a sniper in Sarajevo, in 1992, is well known.
But the documentary film, 'Never Look Away' delves into her life before and after that event.
It tells the story of a complicated personal life through interviews with two lovers and examines a troubled childhood that may have empowered a life on the edge, and a courageous war photography career.
Lucy Lawless balanced this project by continuing her work with her - as she describes them - "best friends" on crime drama 'My Life Is Murder'.
Kathryn talks to Lucy about how she was chosen to tell Margaret's story.
