The massacres of the Sierra Leone Civil War, the bloody struggle for liberation during the Arab Spring, the plight of the Kurdish refugees in the Gulf War and the ongoing devastation of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict - in the midst of the upheavals that have shattered and re-shaped the late-20th and 21st centuries, there was Yannis Behrakis - just Yannis, just a man with a camera and a mission to capture history unfolding.
As a Reuters photojournalist for over three decades, Behrakis put his life on the line, braving riots, sniper fire and air raids to seek out the best of humanity in the worst of circumstances. Just Yannis looks back at the iconic photographs that have shaped our understanding of the world - its sorrows, pain, despair, courage, and hope - and pays homage to the legacy and enduring impact of the man behind the viewfinder.
