Hamburger Eyes from Nick Fogarty on Vimeo.
This brings me back to the days of mail art and “zines.” Very nicely produced; both magazine and documentary.

In this haunting talk, he reframes controversial subjects with empathy, so that we see the pain of a Liberian war criminal, the quiet strength of UN women peacekeepers and the perseverance of Delhi’s under appreciated firefighters.
This is a wonderful TED [...]
