Because it so starkly contrasted the message coming from Russian leadership, which was that they were denying attacking civilians.

This is the idea of how images can impact people's understanding and tell a whole story.

And even in the documentary, it sounds like you ended up speaking with some family of the people who were killed and ultimately hearing them say how important it was to see those images get published.

What did that feel like for you?

You know, it's funny that you say you were sobbing off camera because there are many times in the documentary where we do see you get emotional about what you're experiencing, what you're seeing, what you're hearing.

Sometimes for good situations and sometimes for bad situations, you're clearly moved in your work and you allow yourself to be moved by your work.

What a gift and what a burden, right?

But also, you're in the documentary.

You're mic'd up.

And there are moments when you're like, oh, shit.

I hate this.

I remember hearing you say, like, oh, I hate this.

I hate this.

I don't want to do this.

Sometimes you're literally saying that out loud.

I don't know how aware you were before you were mic'd up in this way.

But, I mean, understandably, you're in these really intense situations.

Literally dangerous situations.

Life-threatening.

One thing that I would say if I were asked to define what makes this a Lindsay Adario, I do think one of the defining features of your work has been your sensitivity toward capturing women.
