RYUICHI HIROKWA: HUMAN BATTLEFIELD is a documentary that pays tribute to the photojournalist, Ryuichi Hirokawa. Hirokawa is a human being first, a photojournalist second – he considers journalism the right to know, and relief work the right to live – two things that have informed his character and career. His pictures have helped to expose human rights abuses and government ineptitude. The film showcases his return to Israel and Palestine where he remembers a Lebanese refugee camp massacre – images burned into his brain which sent shockwaves around the world.
