"Armed Only with a Camera": Oscar-Nominated Doc Honors Brent Renaud and Other "Fallen Journalists"

We speak with filmmaker Craig Renaud, the director of Armed Only with a Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud, an HBO documentary about his brother, photojournalist Brent Renaud, who was killed by Russian soldiers in Ukraine in 2022. March 13 marks the fourth anniversary of Brent’s death, and the film is both a tribute to him and “a bigger story about all the journalists who were being killed,” says Craig. “As we enter another war … I hope Brent’s work and the work of all the fallen journalists helps people pause for a minute and think about the impact that these wars will have.” Armed Only with a Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud is nominated for Best Documentary Feature at this year’s Academy Awards on March 15.

"Why Are We Going to War?": Former U.S. Middle East Officials Say Trump Has "No Clear Plan" on Iran

As the U.S. and Israel continue their bombardment of Iran and the conflict spreads throughout the region, we speak with two former U.S. government officials with experience in Middle East policy. Hala Rharrit is a career diplomat who resigned from the State Department in 2024 to protest the Biden administration’s Gaza policy, and Jasmine El-Gamal served as a Middle East adviser at the Pentagon during the Obama administration. “This is exactly what American diplomats have been trying to avoid for two decades. And before my resignation, it is exactly what I was warning against,” says Rharrit, now in Oman after leaving Dubai with her family for safety. El-Gamal casts doubt on the Trump administration’s shifting reasons for the war, including President Trump’s “feeling” that Iran was about to strike first. “It is ludicrous to expect the American people to believe that Iran would have attacked the U.S. preemptively in the middle of negotiations,” she says, adding that the contradictory messages show “how little they were really thinking this through before they went to war.”
