Powerful documentary that skillfully evokes the tensions felt when working at the physical frontlines of the First Amendment. 22 snappy minutes long.

It was an absolute honor to be included in this now very timely documentary produced by Knight First Amendment Institute.

It’s even more poignant as 4 journos have been arrested, and some facing charges, in the last two weeks while covering protests at college campuses.

It’s a novel case with big aspirations.
