• Story:
  This documentary studies the motivations of journalists dedicated enough to risk their lives for a story. We follow narrator Amy Eldon on a personal journey to find meaning in the death of her older brother, 22-year-old Reuters photographer Dan Eldon.

As she interviews other journalists and the sole surviving witness to Dan's death, we see her attain the peace she sought.
