Sandi Bachom Twitter Thread

I cannot find much information about Sandi Bachom but this link is from a Forbes article which is long and informative. I transcribed that article in another post on this blog.

At 76, Sandi Bachom is one of the most tireless documentary filmmakers of the past 10 years of political turmoil, from Occupy Wall Street to the January 6 insurrection. "Like Zelig with a camera," as the liberal cinematographer/director/producer/editor is often called (and a straw bowler and often a natty vest over a starched white shirt).

Over the past dozen years or so, Bachom has won awards for her short films such as "Shadow Boxer" and had her footage shown on every major network.

Four years ago, on August 12, 2017, while aiming her camera at the Confederate-flag-waving marchers in Charlottesville, Va., chanting "Jews will not replace us!," she was pepper-sprayed, doused with urine and knocked to the ground. She cracked her head open and broke her arm.

This is from a Twitter thread dated Aug. 3, 2022. It includes numerous images and a lengthy string of follow-up exchanges.

#16 Thank you for taking the time to read my threads, always grateful for your support of independent journalism  http://paypal.me/sandibachom

If anybody has a better idea why Chris Miller must be subpoenaed and explain why he did it. Kash Patel actually did a film with Epoch Times blaming the Capitol police for what he did.
