A beautiful memorial in documentary form.

Brent Renaud and his brother were part of informative journalism for much of their lives and filmed many of the major international events. Brent's life came to an end when, while covering the war in Ukraine, he was shot.This film creates an anthology of his life, moving through the different documentaries he made throughout his career and the impact he had on the lives of the people he encountered, intercutting past documentaries with present day testimonies.A dignified way to honor his legacy.

This is an absolute must see; put down whatever you are doing and watch this. But also be ready for a heavy heart (viewer discretion certainly advised). It is both an intimate portrait of a man who gave his life to better this world one story at a time and a heart wrenching dose of reality about the hardship and horrors many people throughout the world face. You can tell that the filmakers (brother and friend of the subject- Brent Renaud) have poured their heart and soul into this work. Hopefully, this work will insipre more bold, humble, and authentic journalism to tell the stories of those who's voices are often unheard.

A magnificent and tragic film

A courageous examination of the life of a courageous man who journeyed to the worse conflicts in the world to give wars victims a voice. A true hero, this film honors not only Brent but all the journalists that risk their lives to bring us the truth.I will never understand how the filmmaker Craig Renaud found the courage and the will to put this story of his own brother together. This film is deserving of all the wars and all the attention.A must watch.
