[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft”]Filmmakers of a documentary dedicated to the life and work of Yannis Behrakis,<\/strong>
\npart of which will be shown during Athens Photo World 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Veteran war photographer Yannis Behrakis narrowly escapes dying in a violent ambush in Sierra Leone – an ambush in which his close friend and mentor is killed by his side.\u00a0 Faced with this searingly personal loss and the accumulated effects of a lifetime of living in conflict zones, Yannis struggles to keep his ideals of clear eyed, compassionate journalism alive.\u00a0\u00a0These documentary excerpts draw from a 20 year journey with Behrakis.\u00a0\u00a0Filmmakers Buddy Squires and Kerstin Park-Labella began filming with Yannis shortly after his brutal reckoning on the West African roadside.\u00a0 From Chechnya, the Balkans, and the Middle East to the European migration that arrives on the shores of his home in Greece, this film follows\u00a0a deeply personal and professional journey of conflict, love, and forgiveness.<\/p>\n
