Halyna Hutchins , 42 , was a Ukrainian cinematographer on the rise and mother of a young son when she was killed.

Alec Baldwin’s Western “Rust” is premiering at a film festival in Poland three years after her death.

Baldwin was pointing a gun at Hutchins during a rehearsal on the set outside Santa Fe , New Mexico , in October 2021 .

Baldwin has said he pulled back the hammer — but not the trigger — and the revolver fired.
