| Summary |
What motivates any of us to do the work we do? And more importantly does that work make a difference? This is the question film producer and founder of filmaid.org, Caroline Baron, reflects on when she calls 'Chasing misery' an 'unblinking' account of what it's like to be a woman on the front lines of global humanitarian responses. Twenty-one first person essays and 23 stunning photographs give readers a glimpse into the lives of real women who respond to emergencies-their hopes, fears, questions, challenges, frustrations as well as glimpses of the humour, beauty, and hope they find in the midst of misery |
