Condition Critical: Bahati’s Story

Bahati is one of more than one hundred thousand Congolese living, displaced, in camps in the east of the country. Left on his own after all his family were killed, he fled to the ‘safety’ of a camp for displaced persons. Bahati tells his story of trying to survive the war – the world’s deadliest conflict since the second world war.

This is one of four photofilm’s created by duckrabbit for MSF’s campaign Condition Critical, to give voice to the pain and trauma of those caught up in the conflict, bearing witness to their dignity and attempts to survive the conflict.

  • Was moved by your video for the WorldFish Center. I loved the phrase “No extra cost. Just extra care”. It really brings out the practical impact the CGIAR’s work has, work which often people see as a bunch of white-coated guys doing research in a lab, rather than understanding the actual change we make for people. The case of Bangladesh was well chosen. In many areas, I saw people looking at water as a curse there (limited land to grow, live, difficult transport, constant threat of flooding, raising sea levels, salination). Your video showed how this can be turned around, using water to their advantage. Peter Casier

  • duckrabbit do stuff that is that is just, well, beautiful. And one of their most effective tools is the audio documentary illustrated by usually very high quality still images. Kevin Marsh, Editor
