DEFENSORES

There are people willing to risk their own lives to defend the lives of others. They do not respond to a defined profile, they are found in all cultures, and almost nobody recognizes their work. But they are the obstinate testimony of the best of the human being. The photographer Sofía Moro has done an impressive job portraying some of them, and brings us her stories with Amnesty International.
