We live in a violent and complicated world. Wars, big and small, on every continent; mass migrations, often targeted for abuse by criminals as well as by governments who don't want the migrants; spreading cartel violence; increasingly disastrous consequences of climate change; pandemics and epidemics.
So much for the Age of Aquarius and the End of History!
If there is any good news in this litany of man's inhumanity to man, it's that most of us have not yet been inured to the brutality to which we are constantly exposed. We can still be appalled, angered, outraged—and we should be.
In large part, that's a tribute to the journalists who report the stories. The good ones don’t aim to shock, but to compel their audiences to reflect on the complexities, of the world as it actually exists.
Fabio Bucciarelli is that kind of journalist. He is an amazing freelance photographer and an even better storyteller, whose beat is some of the most dangerous places on Earth. Listen as he discusses what drives a world-class photojournalist to keep returning to the front lines in a conflicted world.
