    Twice have I cried in a theater for a documentary from beginning to end; the last one was 20 Days in Mariupol at Roxie, and this one.

    It’s a little hard to imagine piercing together a literal teardown of your home while being part of it. At moments like this I can’t help but start questioning the meaning of our work - no one seems to have survived from documenting, and the only thing a camera from an outsider does seems to be hurting people.

    Walking into the busy streets of San Francisco after this film was quite something. It really made you question the meaning of being alive, a journalist, and privileged.
