Photographer Marcus Bleasdale was recently in town to attend a Human Rights Watch sponsored exhibit of his photographs from The Democratic Republic of Congo entitled “The Hidden Face of Gold”.
Bleasdale partnered with Human Rights Watch to expose and document human rights abuses committed by soldiers and armed groups in the northeastern part of the Congo. He is the recipient of several international awards, including the 2006 Overseas Press Club Olivier Reboot Award and the 2006 World Photo Press Award for Daily Life Singles.
While in Toronto, Bleasdale sat down with Sarah Hampson for this interview in The Globe & Mail.
