On assignment for publications including TIME, The New York Times Magazine, and The New Republic, four members of VII photographed the Trump rally and the violence that it unleashed at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021.

On January 18, 2021, Gary Knight spoke with Ashley Gilbertson, Ron Haviv, Christopher Morris, and Christopher Lee, seasoned veterans of conflict, about their experiences that day. They discussed what they saw, how they made decisions, processed information and made choices during the fast-moving, unpredictable and violent events in their own country.

Below is some of the Q&A that followed the conversation.
