I worked closely with journalists at a Crimean Tatar television station, following them as they covered the takeover of Crimea. The film is about the local reporters and their work.
The assignment brought together reporting, filming and close collaboration with a local newsroom. Their experience of covering the story became the subject of a film published by The Guardian.
