But what compels an American filmmaker to leave the comfort of home and immerse himself in a war-torn land?

What narratives emerge from the front lines of conflict?

And how does one capture the resilience of a nation under siege?

In this episode, we delve into the journey of Christopher Walters, an American filmmaker who has spent years documenting the human stories amidst the turmoil in Ukraine.

We explore his motivations, the challenges he faces, and the indelible impact of his work.

What drives him to tell these stories?

How does he navigate the complexities of filming in a conflict zone?

And what does he hope audiences take away from his films?

But this isn’t just about one man’s mission.

It’s about the power of storytelling in the face of adversity.

About the role of art in times of war.

And about the shared humanity that connects us all, even in the darkest of times.

Welcome to a conversation with Christopher Walters, shedding light on the stories that need to be told.
