People are dying to bring you the news – Brent Renaud remembered

Christof Putzel, Filmmaker and close friend who had received a text from Renaud three days before his death. They both worked closely together and were in countless war zones by each others side Iraq, Afghanistan, Somali etc

The UN say that at the very least 567 civilians have died in the Ukraine war. Its almost certainly far more than that. The number now includes a so far unnamed pregnant woman and her baby. You probably saw pictures of her being carried out of a hospital in Mariupol at the end of last week. The American journalist Brent Renaud was also killed at the weekend. He died after Russian troops opened fire on a car of journalists in Irpin on the outskirts of the capital Kyiv.
