Synopsis

Highly acclaimed film-maker Kirsten Johnson directs this reflective documentary which showcases her storied career in film-making and cinematography, from an examination of Jacques Derrida's philosophy, to the man who drove for Osama bin Laden. From Edward Snowden's revelations of the NSA's illegal spying, to the harsh realities of life in post-war Bosnia Herzegovina, hospitals in Nigeria and abortion laws in the United States, Johnson has documented a great deal, and this piece of her work weaves together much of it into a tapestry depicting the myriad different subjects she has covered.
