In this episode, French filmmaker and journalist Hélène Lam Trong discusses Inside Gaza, her most recent documentary offering an unprecedented look into the daily lives of AFP journalists working under relentless bombardment. Built entirely from the images they produced while trying to survive, the film confronts the paradox of reporting the news while living inside it.

Lam Trong recounts how the project began in the aftermath of October 7th, the long negotiations to bring the journalists to safety, and the months she spent sifting through unbearable footage to craft a story the world urgently needed to see.
