Brasil, 2013. Durante os protestos essa semana no Rio eu fiz um registro do registro das minhas fotografias. É um video que conta exatamente momentos antes de cada fotografia tirada, acho que além disso, conta a história de algo que parece estar marcando nosso país. Confesso que me emocionei ao final.
Rio de Janiero-based photographer Michel de Souza was on the scene shooting photos the people protesting the lack of public services. He also captured this point-of-view footage using two GoPro cameras mounted to his DSLRs.
Riot police were sent to fire tear gas and rubber bullets in order to break up the gathering.
De Souza: “I confess that, towards the end, it moved me to tears."
Egyptian poet Ahmed Fouad Negm is outspoken, irreverent and controversial - a living legend in the Arab world famous for not holding his tongue. In this rare, intimate portrait he seeks his place in the revolution, and the inspiration to write again.
Poetry lives where it needs to.
