International photography exhibit. The International Committee of the Red Cross sent five award-winning photojournalists, James Nachtwey, Ron Haviv, Chris Morris, Franco Pagetti and Antonin Kratochvil, to eight countries, where they met countless displaced families, prisoners, orphaned children, war surgeons, poor and widowed mothers, disabled volunteers, rebel fighters, rape victims, counsellors, midwives and others affected by armed conflict. The result is this series of haunting and hopeful images which reveal the loneliness, joy, despair and dignity of those left behind. The exhibit offers a unique and first-hand look at what war and armed violence do to people’s lives – from the heartbreaking loneliness of an elderly woman made homeless by last year’s war between Georgia and Russia to the unbridled joy of two brothers reunited after being separated by fighting in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
