Access to Life, new Magnum Project


Magnum Photos and The Global Found to Figth AIDS, Tuberculoses and Malaria, just lauched a new project. Here's the project's ABOUT:
"In Access to Life, eight Magnum photographers portray people in nine countries around the world before and four months after they began antiretroviral treatment for AIDS. Here are faces, voices, and stories representing those millions of people who by now would be dead if not for access to free antiretroviral drugs–people who are living with HIV, working, caring for their children, and experiencing the joys and struggles of being alive. But there are also the stories of those for whom treatment came too late or where tuberculosis or other diseases brought their lives to an end – showing
how the fight to bring access to AIDS treatment is a difficult one, often filled with setbacks as well as success."

Photographers like, Paolo Pellegrin, Alex Majili, Larry Towel and Jim Goldberg visited countrys such as Mali, Peru, Russia, Haiti and so on.
The result you can check out on the project's website: Access to Life
Or if you are lucky, in one of the citys the project's exhibition will travel to.
I personally recommend Jim Goldberg's work...but thats just my opinion, you should watch them all.
