Journalism Under The Bridge

Journalism Under the Bridge

By Carlos Restrepo

• Photos taken in Medellin, Colombia, during this Christmas.

• Two cameras under 200 dollars used to shoot.

• The family shown lives underneath a bridge in Medellin. They were forced to leave their house, with everything they had, in Barranquilla, by the Paramilitary righ-winged guerilla group AUC (Self-defended Army Forces of Colombia)

• Kitchen.

• The river often has a smell of trash.

• The government often ignores these people, but during Christmas they are willing to pay thousands of dollars to build works of art with lights throughout the city.

• These stories often go untold by the mass media

I`m the journalist of the future because I can tell a story with little equipment, but hardwork and the desire to listen

and show the world all kinds of stories.
