Your mother is no longer with us.

No.

Do you think

Do you think she'd be proud of you for how you've used your voice?

You're saying it in a very big way now, Lubna.

I found defiance to be breathtaking.

And I was really pulled in, frankly, because I'm worried about the stability of my own country, the United States.

And one of the key things that you describe is your effort to document the horror of warfare.

You are documenting, you are literally learning to hold a camera steady as bullets are flying and people are running.

You are part of that movement that is showing truth and believing when we show truth, justice will prevail.

I mean, that's the underlying premise of journalism.

That's why we do what we do.

And I have to ask you, Lubna, do you still believe in the power of reporting of journalism to bring justice?

Lubna Marai, I want to thank you, and I needed to hear you today.

Thank you so much.
