On March 13, 2022, filmmaker Brent Renaud was killed by Russian soldiers, the first American journalist to die while reporting on the war in Ukraine. His younger brother and collaborator, Craig Renaud, recovered Brent’s body and his final recordings from Ukraine and brought them back to their childhood home in Arkansas. As Brent’s journey to his final resting place unfolds, the film chronicles the years he and his brother spent covering some of the world’s most dangerous conflicts.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Brent and Craig won a Peabody for their 2015 Chicago violence documentary 'Chi-Town'; this was Craig's first solo directorial credit.
Renaud's death briefly made him a symbol in U.S. Ukraine coverage; this film deliberately shrinks that symbol back to a man with a brother.
