Nim Shapira: Torn Between Empathy and Erasure

Filmmaker Nim Shapira discusses Torn, his documentary on the hostage posters put up—and torn down—across New York after October 7th. He reflects on free speech, empathy, and why erasing someone else's pain won't shorten a war. Also: a protest in Nepal over a social media ban topples the prime minister. Plus: Israel's strikes on Hamas leaders in Qatar, where trust craters—and Israel puts its trust in craters.
