Albino killings in Tanzania
Around lake Victoria in Tanzania, the evil is driven by the belief that albino body parts possess magical powers to bring riches if used in potions produced by local witchdoctors. Since 2007, 47 people with albinism have been brutally murdered.

Oriental dance in Cairo
Dreaded by men of faith, rooted within families or adulated by Westerners, belly dancing arouses argument,embarrassment and emotions. In Cairo, the bodies undulate in sensual curves… but the temple of this ancestral art is casting out more and more of its dancers.

Life and death in Calcutta
Like tight rope walkers’, life precariously hangs in the balance for the people who live in the slums of Kolkata. Health care to these people is almost non-existent but there is one Doctor who has dedicated his life to helping them to survive and stay healthy.

Cameroon - Adamawa, a paradise of bees.
The younger generation of Cameroonians, pushed out of the cities by unemployment, has found in the bush a refuge where the men can feed their wives and children. Many of these young people have become beekeepers, hoping to put aside money thanks to the sale of honey.The gathering of the honey on evenings of a full moon from one of the most aggressive bees in the world takes on the air of a sacrificial ceremony.

North Korea : a glimpse of paradise.
North Korea is making a splash again,in the last two weeks test-launching a rocket, declaring it would restart its nuclear program and throwing out U.N.monitors.The world’s most secretive country does not enjoy visitors. The few foreigners allowed in are presented only with propaganda, strictly banned from seeing the realities of the poor,totalitarian state.To peek into the daily life, I sneaked into North Korea via the river border separating China and N Korea. For some minutes, I was able to get afleeting look at the regime, which calls itself a “Social Paradise”.

The colors of Holi by Bruno Morandi
Holi is the happiest, wildest and most colourful festival of India.This former Spring fertility ritual and agrarian festival celebrating plentiful harvests has kept remnants of its bacchanalian character.Participants love to break taboos and conventions and reverse the role behaviour imparted by a rigid caste society.
