Unfortunately, we are taught to be helpless. In the news, on TV, in the media, we are trained into feeling a passive sadness—environmental disasters, wars, migration, refugees, child abuse… It feels like all we can do is sit and feel bad for others. 

However, everyone has their own power. I have a camera; I can take photos and make documentaries. We are not helpless. There is always something we can do. The moment you realize that, you begin to become an activist.
