The image of the boy with the gun is chilling and shows the result of international smuggling rather than the smugglers themselves.
The elements of the innocence of youth contrasted with the stark realities of a war-torn country makes this a compelling image which stops the reader to gaze and ponder.
Broken Borders: Riveting picture, probably would have been more compelling with less text on the page.
“Broken Borders” showed me lost innocence as a young boy, cradling a rifle, stares me down.
