reflects on the “sense of community and shared identity” he’s witnessed helping Ukrainians stand their ground two years into the siege.
“You can't stop bleeding w/ a photo or a video. You cannot resurrect the dead by making a film. But you stay there, because when the crime is happening and you're just standing...not doing anything, you feel like you're participating in the crime”

“It is a bittersweet feeling because we know this film represents a huge tragedy for humanity, for Ukrainians it’s a huge loss of lives.” –

“It was important not to sanitize the images, because that’s a very dangerous thing to do if you show war. If you sanitize your images, then it kind of becomes acceptable for people who see it.” –
