In this episode, former journalist, and documentary filmmaker Florence Martin-Kessler takes us behind the curtain of Live Magazine, the groundbreaking “journalism on stage” project she founded in Paris after a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard. She shares the eureka moment that sparked its creation, the delicate balance between rigor and magic, and why she believes that facts, when told with wonder, can bring people together. In a love letter to journalism, Martin-Kessler explores the fleeting experience of being moved by a true story.
