Human Bondage. Бремя страстей человеческих

I still believe in the power of the photograph to communicate and to make you think and care. Most important story that I’ve done, was on 21st century slavery. Nothing in my life had/have prepared me for what I was going to be seen. I became a photographer because I wanted to change the world. It's just been a little bit harder than I thought it was gonna be. I believe that photography played a big role in ending the war in Vietnam and I really had big plans, but now my ambitions are a lot more realistic, to just try to do my bit to help cultures understand each other and to try to eliminate are illuminate worlds that most people will never see. I'm a journalist and a storyteller hard. The word storytellers become such a cliché, but I can't think of a better way to describe what it is that I do. From the Don of human history, people have been sitting around the campfire and telling stories to try to understand their world. My heart is always been in the concept stories the stories about ideas, rather than places. With places you can after invented the narrative in the story, but with concepts you have a real story to tell and I’d love doing them. The most important story that I've done was on 21st century slavery the trafficking of human beings around the world, the story about how twenty seven million people are bought and sold against their will. Held captive brutalized and exploited for profit. It was a global story on an emotional issue that depended on being behind closed doors. And it was accumulation of all my enters and all my passion and on my experience, and it was incredibly dangerous, but and and I was actually in in tears or in fear the entire time doing this story. Tens of thousands of children are trafficked internally in West Africa. It's the abuse of the tradition where kids from rural villages were sent to the city's to live with relatives to work as domestics in exchange for an education and a chance for a better life. But it’s now become a professional trafficking operation, and most of the kids (have) become virtual slaves like this little mechanic. This girl’s selling water for her masters, if the girls don't sell enough they're beaten. So they're scared to go back if they had a bad day or if their earnings were stolen, which happens often. Men know this and give money to sexually exploit them. In India millions of children are held in bondage, working on the carpet looms. This new moner sleeping off a hangover while a little kids working in horrible conditions. They're sitting in a dirt pit in virtual darkness, for 18 hours a day or more, it's in stifling heat, there's no ventilation and their spines become deformed, their eyesight and their fingers damaged, they're often beaten and deprived of food. And it's the same on the ___ ____. He sits all day and spins and when he's finished each spindle he bites the end of the threats to cut. He doesn't know that is being slowly poisoned by the dye. In the glass making industry the kids are held in debt bondage that was actually incurred by their parents, they were cover these gas burners in intense heat and fumes, with no ventilation, no protective gear, in their welding together the ends of these clasp bracelet, that you can actually by anywhere for a dollar. I was nearly knocked over by the fumes when I was shown this this room when they open these shatters and showed me the children inside working. These kids and eeeemmmm really severely ill from these conditions. And she's dying of tuberculosis wearing the bangles that are killing her. Bonded labour contract/ contrap entire families for generations. The brick kiln owners get workers by lending money for emergencies like a funeral or a medical problem and then they charge outrageous interest rates so the money can never be repaid and the dead is passed on to the children. The heat was intense that day, it was 140 degrees and added heat from the furnaces eeeeemmmmm that we're bringing the bricks around them. It was really hell on earth. In India the kids are trafficked into train stations to bit from passengers in there are often named to get more sympathy and more money. This babies come to symbolize for me the kind of poverty that would allow parents to think of their own children as commodities to be bought and sold. This baby is in extreme risk of being sold into the illegal adoption trade in Guatemala. And this is the largest red light district in India and and maybe even the world huge numbers of women are lord, tricked, sold into the sex industry in around the world. Some enter knowingly but they don't expect to become enslaved and they have no idea what to insert for them. She lives and works in this small cage they call them her entire world is there she entertained customers on that that bed there's a kitchen underneath ,it’s a little stove where she cooks her meals and eats. And she was at that time had been HIV POS positive for seven years, and she'll soon going to the family business. I wanted to show the perps, he's an a jail on the border of India and Nepal, and was convicted of trafficking two women, and it's really eeeemmmmm this small third of mom-and-pop operations that feed the trafficking victims into that greed pipeline. And this is a brothel in Israel. Israel incredibly enough has become one of the largest importers of European women. They’re now flown into Cairo, where the traffic to cross the desert by the betterment, who raped them, beat them, treat them horribly. Follow the Soviet Union cause the explosive growth in the trafficking it’s a young women all over the world. And in Thailand until the demand side of this equation is dealt with, it will be impossible to eradicate all reform. Besides the victims and the perps I wanted to show the women, who were an who were trying to help who were trying to save the girls. This was in Bosnia on it was a shelter for the women, who had been rescued from the problems and it was run by kids very brave Bosnian woman it was completely hidden from view I had they will couldn't tell me where where was where I was going who surrounded by by armed guards. The girls are unbelievably traumatized and broken. One girl had a nail driven through your hand another was found with a syringe buried in her arm and I saw one was cigarette burns all over her body. And this is in Nepal on a young girlhood just entered the shelter had been rescued from a brothel in Katmandu. And this is shelter in Tijuana on the border with the US young Mexican boys are trafficked into the US to be prostituted pedophiles in this country. And this is the children of the night shelter in Los Angeles. Children the night shelter is rescued over 10,000 young kids from from the child sex industry in this country. And the kids are taken to sporting events like prize fights and even the Super Bowl/Ball and prostituted to to the men. So I found out that it's an it's not a problem in the poverty-stricken countries, a lot if it happens there it's the wealthy nations the ridge us who eat the food they pick use the goods they make sexually exploited women and children my eyes were opened it is parallel universe that exists invisibly and are wealthy commercialize society and it took me a very long time to recover from this story from having to seek out people every day and finding it. There is the most important story that has ever done, It got the biggest response in history of National Geographic until then. So in the end maybe I didn't change the world but that world changed me profoundly and irrevocably. I don't I don't look at prostitution as a victimless crime anymore I don't think that it's a lot of fun to buy things really cheap anymore, cause the drive for cheaper and cheaper goods ,there is no, the temptation is just a grain there's no cheaper labor than a slave. Thank you .

Jodi Cobb: What Is Beauty?

I went to ten countries on six continents to explore cultural notion of beauty and attraction. I tried to explore the commercial side of beauty and how concepts of beauty have become distorted around the world. I mean this doesn't exist in nature. Please. She’s 6 this was another closed world. It was the time (of) Jonbenet Ramsey and one mother actually even threatened my life if she saw a picture of her daughter in print. Some kind of makeup has been used in every culture since the beginning of time. The men in Papua New Guinea are the flamboyant accent and these are Huli Wigmen as sing-sing in Highlands, the Hooley bachelor called .The men separate from the women for three years to purify themselves and to grow their hair, they water it ten times a day to help it grow and then they shave their heads to make these really dramatic wigs that they consider the essence of manhood. And they wear these these wigs for the rest of their lives that festivals in and court women. We saw the Mud Men of Papua New Guinea they paint their body with this clay made of ash and they make these ferocious masks to scare their enemies. This is the mercy people in Omo valley in Ethiopia the origins of this tradition are lost to history but some think it was to discourage the slave traders from taking the women. These large clay plates are now considered the status symbols and the size determines the bride price of the woman. And the Chinese bounds women’s feet for a thousand years, the girls feat were broken at age three and then the bandages were wound tighter and tighter around the feet until the toes were wrapped completely under the arch like the mercy lip plate. The sizes of the foot determine the worth of the woman. It’s actually very rare picture of an unbound foot, even the husband rarely saw them unbound. They preferred to think of these bound feet is mysterious and erratic. And it's interesting what I discovered doing this story was that the changes that were made in men's bodies, all made them appear stronger and more powerful but the women somehow ended up maimed or their movement inhibited somehow. But the world is changing fast, culture traditions are quickly dying out all over the world and western clothing in oceans of beauty are taking over. Obviously, some traditions deserve to die but sometimes we're losing our connection to our history and and crucial ties to our cultural origins, we seem to be throwing the baby out with the bath water.
