About this listen

This episode explores one of the most haunting images of our time—and the tragic story behind the lens.


Carter captured the photo of a starving Sudanese child watched by a vulture—an image that shook the world and won a Pulitzer Prize. But the praise came with deep controversy and personal torment.


This episode unpacks the ethics, the emotional weight, and the unseen cost of bearing witness through photography. A story of brilliance, burden, and the invisible scars left behind.
