This short film centers around a debate between three important activist artists: Haskell Wexler - legendary cinematographer and filmmaker, Hubert Sauper - award winning documentarian, and Susan Meiselas - world renowned photojournalist. What’s truth? Is it truth, fact or fiction? Who tells the story? Whose story is it? Interspersed with their films and photographs.

Filmmaker Joan Churchill, who is being honored this year with DOC NYC’s Lifetime Achievement Award, collaborates with Alan Barker on this personal portrait of legendary filmmakers Haskell Wexler, D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus. Over a rollicking evening, they discuss filmmaking and what it means to be an artist, interwoven with reflections on Wexler’s work as an activist.
