Jerry Risius was walking backward on streets unknown in Monrovia, Liberia, pointing a camera aimed at globe-trotting chef Anthony Bourdain. The cinematographer from Buffalo Center, Iowa, heard a voice call out, Hey, Jerry!

The germ of the idea came to him in 2017 when he read in the New York Times that the Storm Lake Times, a newspaper in northwest Iowa, won a Pulitzer Prize.
