Director of ‘Rust’ Documentary Reflects on Halyna Hutchins’ Death: ‘I’ve Changed My Whole Idea of What Justice Means’


Rachel Mason, director of a new 'Rust' documentary, on Halyna Hutchins' death, if Alec Baldwin agreed to be interviewed and if justice was served.

The accident occurred when Alec Baldwin ’s prop gun fired a live bullet during production on Oct. 21, 2021, and the film also includes interviews with those on set, subsequent lawsuits, criminal trials and investigations into lapses in on-set safety protocols. It appeared that quite a number of audience members knew Halyna or were affiliated with “Rust.” There was some sharing of stories about the cinematographer and mother, as well as some tears during the screening. If people feel something is truly unsafe in a lot of different workplaces outside of the film industry, anyone is allowed to raise the concern that there should be a stop work order.
