Armed Only with a Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud

I wonder if Alex Garland consulted with Brent when making Civil War. Or maybe if his death inspired him to make that movie.

Either way RIP

Civilians are not a target, Hospital and medics are not a target, and Journalist are not a target. It's a war crime to let all of those people died, and most of y'all are still silent with this.> "You are very honest and very faithful and very... The way you hold that camera, the way you hold that camera, it is not just you are holding it. You're doing it from your heart." Shocking, terrifying, and heartbreaking documentary, but also a heartwarming journey till the end of Brent's life. I don't have any better words for those heroes who are recording the truth to us.

This documentary tells the journey and the impact of Brent's journalism. From terrorism attack, war, and plenty of others. This shows how a documentary can impact small, forgettable places, to be seen.

I agree with the other, this documentary is having a mixed feelings. But since then, it was just Brent showing reality we lived, and you guys aren't ready for that.

This documentary itself impacted me at noticing journalism. It does change my perspective. We often forgot the heroes behind the scenes, and this shows how we couldn't ignore those heroes.

8 per month, 100 a year, 2000+ in total since the 1990s. It is a number we shouldn't ignore.

After Brent's death itself, over 100 more Journalists have died.

Rest in Peace to Brent Renaud, and every journalist that has been killed by a war crime.

A brutal watch. The scene of Craig meeting Brent’s surviving colleague was heart wrenching.

this is a beautiful piece for his memory but it felt like a glorified highlight reel, we don’t take any time to feel for the victims it makes a spectacle of their deaths

A little surprised that this is the one that made me cry. I thought it brought incredible light to the work that disaster/war zone journalists do, and in particular I found the cutting between the funeral and the places Brent met them to be very impactful.
