Photo très symbolique, Sylvie, J'aime beaucoup ce jeune garçon qui a les mains sur la grille et les autres dans le fond. On a un peu l'impression d'être revenu dans le temps et de voir des esclaves en attente de départ. Belle lumière et bonne composition. Bravo!

Today a summer camp almost where kids and teenagers like to play. Before it was the worst fear for the community to be behind these bars.

Indeed a voyage in time. Well done Sylvie.
Amities,
Robert

And many legal one's are in the making.

A very powerful shot, it really speaks a 1000 words

Ca me rapelle des films atroces que j'ai vu sur la traite des noirs a paine quelques années auparavant.

L'esclavagisme "classique" a disparue, maintenant, il ya l'esclavagisme économique, puisqu'ils continue a produire pour l'occident pour des miettes.

Merci pour cette photo chargée de symboles.
