In 2001 I received a Pew Fellowship to travel to the Nuba Mountains. Sudan receives so little coverage in the foreign press and I wanted to show the human consequences of a prolonged conflict.

The Nuba have also suffered famine and frequent attacks but their resilient culture inspires moderation and religious tolerance despite extreme adversity.
