Synopsis by Cammila Collar
This episode of This American Life offers two different stories about what life looks like through the viewfinder of a camera. In one, a cartoonist named Chris Ware talks about how dangerous it can be to hide behind the camera lens while real life plays out before you. In another, a young filmmaker sets out to his alcoholic stepfather's vices on film, but ends up finding a both sympathetic and sad picture of his family.
