Episode description

I once met an elderly man who had taken pictures before and after 1984.

I asked him: “What was it like photographing 84’?”

His response: “I feel like I have been photographing 1984 my entire life.”

His response shook me and it became a very significant moment for me.

This experience led me to question - Why do I care about the violence that occurred during 1984…why should I care?
