During the month of November, HBO shares the photographer’s story in a four-part docu-series titled Witness.
“The amazing thing is we don’t know many of them,” explains Witness director and executive producer, David Frankham to an audience at the premiere of South Sudan at the Bronze Lens Film Festival earlier this month. “They have affected the way we see the world, how we think about conflicts all over and we don’t know many by name.”
