Field Notes is a series from Shadowgraph: short audio diaries from the world of filmmaking.

In today’s episode, we reflect on the challenges of filming inside the Al Yarmouk camp for Palestinians in Damascus. Beyond the logistics, we discuss the ethical reminders we carried with us: how to remain sensitive while documenting people who have lived through immense instability.

We reflect on the difficulties we faced: from the practical realities of filming in the camp to the ethical care required when documenting people’s lives.
