## Resource

This week, Becky sits down with a true artist: filmmaker and documentarian Ry Russo-Young (Nuclear Family, Call Her Alex, BEFORE I FALL). Ry shares the backstory behind her deeply personal, Peabody-nominated documentary Nuclear Family—from the origins of the project to the complex, often therapeutic experience of making a film about the landmark legal case she found herself at the center of when she was just 9 years old. (This is mostly a spoiler-free conversation and Nuclear Family is available on HBO Max.) Ry is also an accomplished narrative filmmaker and reflects on her path—from her indie roots in New York City to making studio movies—and the creative influences that have shaped her work along the way.
