EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Chris Wattie, a group of migrants who claim to be from Djibouti and Somalia are seen walking along railway tracks after successfully crossing the Canada-U. S. border in Emerson, Manitoba. The image was taken on a dark night, creatively utilizing the surrounding darkness to disguise their journey into a new land. The unrecognizable figures carrying bags evoke a sense of mystery and uncertainty as they navigate through the rural landscape. The weather adds an element of harshness to their plight, with nature serving as both an obstacle and witness to their determination. Silhouetted against the backdrop of the night sky, these would-be immigrants symbolize hope and resilience amidst adversity. Their synchronized steps create a powerful visual representation of unity within this diverse group. As they walk together towards an uncertain future, one cannot help but wonder about their stories - what led them here? What challenges did they face along the way? This thought-provoking image invites us to reflect on issues surrounding immigration and human migration worldwide. With ample copy space around them, this photograph serves as a reminder that behind every statistic or political debate lies real people with dreams and aspirations for a better life. It urges us not only to acknowledge their existence but also encourages empathy towards those seeking refuge in foreign lands.
