EP 260: Award-winning filmmaker Chris Atkins has spent nearly three decades capturing stories from some of the most dangerous and unforgettable places on earth. In this first half of our conversation, Chris takes us behind the making of Dying to Live—a gripping documentary that tells the harrowing story of the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel, when terrorists attacked a music festival, killing hundreds.

Chris shares how the project came together, the personal accounts that shaped the narrative, and what it was like to document such a recent and heartbreaking chapter of history.

We also talk about his own experiences filming in Israel over the years and why telling stories of truth is more important than ever.
