On the Dvafoto Blog: MSF’s Jason Cone and Ron Haviv discuss “Starved for Attention"
The Dvaphoto blog has an excellent interview with the creators of the multimedia campaign "Starved for Attention." Medecins Sans Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders) teamed up with Photo VII to expose "the neglected and largely invisible crisis of childhood malnutrition." Their website uses video, photography, mapping and narrative to tell the story of those that are affected. The photojournalism and documentaries are unforgettable, intimate and respectful.
The numbers are staggering: 195 million children are affected by the epidemic each year. Starved for Attention personalizes the numbers and tells the individual stories of children who are affected around the world. The stories follow success, treatment and hardship. We are asked to "rewrite the story" and thousands have signed the petition for change.
M. Scott Brauer of Dvaphoto interviews the executive producer of video and communications director of Medecins San Frontiers to give us a behind the scenes look. Starved for Attention is also a traveling exhibition of the documentary photography. Medecines Sans Frontiers talks about the importance of documentary to their mission.
The interview is an excellent read for advocates and organizations using images and video. Visit the Dvaphoto blog to learn more.
