About the shot - 1


May 2002. Working on a news story covering the famine in rural Angola following the end of the civil war. I came across this scene in the small town of Camacupa. Every day aid seekers came walking, often very long distances, to help centers set up by various ngo's. The MSF used this rice packing warehouse, empty due to the lack of food, as a therapeutic feeding center. Outside the building an old tree casts it shadows on the wall as a mother with two children arrives at the help center.
