Congratulations and many thanks for the short photoessay but very clear and informative. It gives you diferent insite into the issue. It seems to me that they become victims of global conflicts of interests. Let photography do itÂ´s job and contribute to denounce loud and clear the reality so it can be change. Keep the good work

Looking Forward to see a coverage of Burma right now, feels media is leaving this issue aside, but i imagine it has been extremely difficult to cover this with all the repression of the system...

Watching this I realized just how important Magnum ann especialli InMotion can be in times like this...when we need a visual firebomb of this quality accompanied by a strong simple narrative to actually understand that small place that's making headlines around the world. Thank you guys. gaby

What a shame that the world at the moment sems too busy with wars and other inter - country struggles that there is no one who has the interest or the will to help oppressed humanity in many countries. It certainly does not look as if Democracy were spreading; rather the oppsite seems true.
