a harrowing slideshow by A. Majoli

Excellent, isn’t it?
I was about to post the same link.
The sober use of video is really well done.
Far more interesting and moving than a lot of the on-line newspaper video stuff I have seen recently, probably because it is done with skill, intelligence, talent and taste which is not always the case.
In the same spirit, theres also this http://accesstolife.theglobalfund.org/essay/russia

The treatment of Indigenous people the world over has been the playground for every exploitative tendency of religion, politics sex and power.

It has and always will make me sick to the stomach, after photographing my local community in Redfern for 15 years I know some of the most horrific stories around about how Australian Aboriginal people have suffered. They deal with each and every calamity of invasion of territory in every way, every day.

I am SO FUCKING GLAD that this story has gotten a run somewhere.

Most of the Indigenous people I know are the most beautiful, gentle, intelligent, respectful and civilized people I have ever met. The only horrible behavior comes from Western Influences.

If I wasn’t already a great fan of Majoli’s I would be one now- This is to me the most important work in the world at the moment- good for you Jukka for bringing it to our attention, good for Alex for shooting it and bravo for Magnum for running it!
