I am trying to pull on anger but I am grief stricken. My stomach turns when I try to speak. How do I explain that burning children alive in tents is bad? Who does not know that? What is this system weāve built that has normalized advanced tech barbarism & dares to lecture us?



Loved this chat with Ross Whitaker


This chat between two great doc directors Ross Whitaker and Colm Quinn is a must listen for anyone interested in making documentary. The series is a bit of goldmine in general.
