“My mission is to tell you the story and then you decide what you want to do. My mission is to make sure that nobody can say: ‘I didn’t know’.”

METAdrasi’s team expresses deep sadness for the death of Yannis Behrakis, the unique photojournalist who stood out for his powerful images and exceptional ethics.
