Show Notes
Recorded live at the Whitby Hotel, guest host Alix Strauss leads a moving conversation with filmmaker Nim Shapira following a screening of his new feature documentary, TORN. Shapira discusses the origins of the film, the shock and grief that followed October 7th, and his desire to bridge divides in an increasingly polarized landscape. He shares personal stories from volunteering with families of hostages, the unraveling of social connections, and the deeper questions that guided the project—about empathy, dehumanization, and the complexity of truth. This intimate talkback offers a rare look into the making of Torn and the emotional and societal fractures it captures.
