It’s a journalist’s role to stay behind the scenes. But sometimes, a reporter’s extraordinary life becomes the story itself.
Such is the case with Brent Renaud, an award-winning documentary film-maker who was the first American journalist killed, at the age of 50, in the Russia-Ukraine war. His life and death are captured in a new, intimate documentary that debuted in Los Angeles at the 21st annual HollyShorts film festival earlier this month.
