What is the real story behind Lee?

Watch the teaser trailer below;
Determined to capture the reality of war, Miller documents the suffering caused by Hitler’s regime. Her work reveals the horrific loss of life and is sent back to Vogue’s female readers, who were largely unaware of the war's brutal realities.
She partners with Life Magazine photographer David E. Scherman (Andy Samberg), and together they produce a series of impactful images that shape our understanding of the war.
Miller’s tenacity and fearlessness allow her to navigate military bureaucracy and reach the heart of the conflict. She and Scherman bribe their way into Hitler’s Munich apartment, capturing the famous photo of Miller in Hitler’s bathtub on the day he died.
They are among the first photographers to enter the Dachau Concentration Camp after its liberation, capturing some of the most definitive images of Hitler’s crimes.
The Lee film synopsis read, "The story of photographer Elizabeth 'Lee' Miller, a fashion model who became an acclaimed war correspondent for Vogue magazine during World War II. Former Vogue cover model Lee Miller travels to the front lines of World War II as a photojournalist and goes on a mission to expose the hidden truths of Nazi Germany."
