Bollendorff’s #PARADISE brings humanity, use of mysticism, to life in the face of natural disasters

The 37th edition of the Photojournalism Festival is underway in Perpignan, France and FRANCE 24’s Eve Irvine welcomes Photojournalist and Documentary Filmmaker Samuel Bollendorff. Amid global conflict, war, and natural disasters climate change, Mr. Bollendorff seeks to bring to life our “humanity” in how we relate to one another, through a wide array of local photographers, in the face of death and destruction. By relying on mysticism to process tragedy, are we suppressing how we are truly affected? Are we failing to respond, rise to the occasion, and to “take strong decisions” to seek out real solutions by “changing our way of life”?
