The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors typically meets in a room in a building in downtown Phoenix, Arizona.

“We’re a vanishing breed,” Lombroso’s grandmother told him. “So, if you want to do this, you’d better hurry.”I grew up around Holocaust survivors. As a kid in suburban New York in the late nineteen-nineties and early two-thousands, I knew that many of my relatives and family friends had heart-wrenching memories of living through genocide. The stories were so commonplace in our community that it was possible, as a kid, to shrug them off.

The violence of the Israel-Palestine conflict marked Winner’s life early. During a previous round of fighting, in 2008, when Winner was in his twenties, he was working in the garden with his best friend’s father when a Hamas-fired rocket landed and blew the other man to pieces. Atary says the experience shaped Winner’s life: “His soul broke,” Atary told me, when we spoke. “His trauma started there.”Trauma became the preoccupation of his work.

From the start, Dmytro and I both knew that we wanted to make a war film without showing violence. The hope, instead, was to highlight the new reality of everyday Ukranians. Dmytro shot the documentary over three weeks, capturing the artists near Lviv in a transformative moment, one that resonates in the experiences of others throughout the country, as their lives are reshaped by the war and the national-defense effort.
