Warriors
These warriors aren’t ancient, neither they do war.
Yes, they might have the strength from their past but they stare deeply into each other eyes. Kids that are being put to test and taught how to fight for their lives.
These moments were captured in Bangkok, in January 2016, at the Lumpinee stadium where every week young fighters confront each other on the ring, with the enthusiastic support of their families, team and a crowd of avid for gamblers. The screams don't bother them, they have much more than money at stake.

ACT FOR PEACE
Why do I want to work with Act for Peace?
I am passionate about all types of creative collaborations, as long as they involve emotional experiences.
I want to confront the issues that arise in our societies, believing we can make a change through audiovisual art, all this adding to my motivation for traveling, helping people around me and discover other amazing human beings around the world. I have extensive experience in the field of videography and photography, including working in the not for profit sector, in different countries. My experience includes being self-sufficient on the field in a variety of different realities, making the best out of available resources, looking for stories with extreme attention to detail.
Working with Act For Peace would be a great step in my journey, where I can keep learning but also I truly believe I can give a valuable contribute to the work your organisation develops, joining a great group of people that share my passion for helping people and confronting injustice.
