On March 13, 2022, filmmaker Brent Renaud was killed by Russian soldiers while reporting on the war in Ukraine. Later, his younger brother and collaborator, Craig Renaud, recovered Brent's body and his final recordings and brought them back to their childhood home in Arkansas. As Brent's journey to his final resting place unfolds, the award-winning short film chronicles the years he and his brother spent covering some of the world's most dangerous conflicts. Unflinching in its depiction of death, loss, and the toll of war, the film is a tribute to Brent and all the devoted journalists who use their cameras to work for truth and understanding.
