Synopsis

As a photographer covering conflicts and natural disasters for international publications, Christoph Bangert is regularly confronted with a dilemma: On the one hand he tries to document events as truthful to his own experience as possible but on the other hand he needs to accommodate several layers of self-censorship. Using his images taken during the past ten years in Afghanistan, Iraq, Indonesia, Lebanon and Gaza, Bangert started an experiment: What would happen if we suppressed our need for self- censorship? The result is a raw yet personal book.
