On this episode of the Sword and Pen, host Devon Lancia sits down with guest Benjamin Goldhagen for a conversation on the art of creating war documentaries that tell the human perspective. As the son of a Holocaust survivor, Benjamin’s personal history fuels his work, currently focused on showing the human cost of war from the lense of the conflict in Ukraine. During this conversation, he discusses his experiences with filming conflict and what fellow journalists need to know about war coverage today.
Benjamin's two documentaries on the conflict in Ukraine, The Steel Porcupine and To the Zero Line, are available to watch online for free. Follow Benjamin on X to keep in touch with his work or reach out on the Goldhagen Group website!
