Some people make art to entertain.
Others make it to agitate.
Tal Barda makes it to reveal what we’d rather not see.

In this episode, I sit down with Tal—award-winning filmmaker and relentless truth-seeker—to talk about what it means to document the unseen. From Gaza to Israeli prisons, from ultra-Orthodox communities to immigrant families clinging to two cultures at once, Tal uses her camera like a scalpel: cutting through numbness, denial, and the illusion of neat narratives.

We talk about what it’s like to grow up between countries, between languages, between versions of belonging. And how that outsider-ness can become its own kind of compass.

This episode is about art, yes—but also about responsibility. About choosing to look, when looking is the hardest thing. And about the cost of staying curious when the world wants you to look away.
