It is a candle held against the shadows—an attempt to shed light on the process of why and what constitutes a famine. To provide a deeper clarity, and to stir a deeper, more courageous empathy. Not the kind that feels sorry from afar, but the kind that dares to come close. The kind that asks, not “Is this true?” but “What does love require of me now?”
