Thanks for tuning into On the Media's midweek podcast. I'm Brooke Gladstone. Michael Lohenger's out on the road this week.

Reporting for a series will be airing later in the spring. Stay tuned for that. But before he left, he recorded the following interview for us.

In 2022, Brent Renaud became the first American journalist to be killed by Russian

soldiers while covering the war in Ukraine. Brent's collaborator for many years was his younger

brother, Craig. When word got back to Craig that Brent had been shot, he did what he and his brother had always done. He kept

filming. Craig and his producer Juan Aradondo used that footage, along with material from their

archive, to make the Oscar-nominated short documentary armed only with a camera. The film is part tribute to his brother, part salute to war journalists who are still out there risking their lives.

Micah spoke to Craig about how the brothers got started in the journalism business.

I can always remember there being cameras in our home.

You know, when you see this film, you will see Super 8 film footage from throughout our childhood.

And I always remember that camera being around.

And then when my brother was about 10 years old, my dad gave him a Minota camera.

That was the first time he envisioned himself as a journalist.

So it was definitely from a very young age that we had this seed planted in our minds.

I also remember as kids.

My brother had a very active mind and imagination, and my parents gave him a radio, a transistor radio.

And we shared a bedroom, and he would lie awake at night listening to the BBC's international news every night.

Tell me a little bit more about your partnership, your relationship working together.

What do you think made it successful?

I think we complimented each other.

You know, our personalities could not have been more different.

I'm very social.
