American photographer Michael Christopher Brown was raised in the Skagit Valley, a farming community in Washington. After moving to New York City in 2005, he joined the Italian photo agency Grazia Neri in 2006. He then moved to Beijing, China, in 2009 and over the next two years put together a series of works from road and train trips across the country.In 2010 Michael began taking pictures with an iPhone, driving around eastern China in his Jinbei van. Since then he has produced iPhone photographs in Libya, Egypt, Congo, Central African Republic, Cuba and Palestine. Michael's ability to capture critical moments with an iPhone has led to his involvement with Time, The New York Times Magazine, and National Geographic's Instagram platforms.In 2011, Michael spent seven months in Libya photographing the Libyan Revolution, exploring ethical distance and the iconography of warfare. He covered several battles along the coast, was ambushed several times in Eastern Libya and injured twice. In early March, on the frontline near the eastern town of Bin Jawad, he was shot in the leg during a Government offensive. Six weeks later, while covering the Siege of Misrata, he was injured by incoming mortar fire, losing nearly half the blood in his body and requiring two transfusions. His colleagues Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros were both killed in the same attack and Guy Martin was also badly injured. Michael returned to Libya twice in 2012 and was the subject of the Michael Mann directed HBO documentary series Witness: Libya.A contributing photographer at National Geographic since 2005, Michael is also a contributor to The New York Times Magazine and other publications. Since 2006 his photographs have been published in dozens of international publications. He joined Magnum Photos as a nominee in 2013 and was an associate from 2015 until leaving the agency in June 2017.Michael's book Libyan Sugar won the Paris Photo First Photobook Award and the International Center of Photography's 2017 Infinity Award for Artist's Book.In 2015 and 2016 Michael produced Paradiso, a multimedia project on the electronica music and youth scene in Havana, Cuba, part of which was exhibited in 2017 during the Cuba IS show at the Annenberg Space for Photography.In 2018 Michael released the book Yo Soy Fidel, which follows the cortège of Fidel Castro, former Cuban revolutionary and politician, over a period of several days in late 2016.Michael has also documented conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo since 2012 and was based in Goma from late 2012 until early 2014. A three book series of images from that time, both his and those he collected from numerous Congolese photographers, is forthcoming, entitled Congo Sunrise. On episode 142, Michael discusses, among other things: His new podcast, The Searcher, and the reasons for starting it.The controversy surrounding his story on Skid Row in L.A. for National Geographic.The PTSD that took nearly six years to manifest itself and the efficacy of psychedelic drugs as a treatment.His thoughts on the inclusion of gory images of war in his book Libyan Sugar.His forthcoming book project, Congo Sunrise, featuring collected images from Congolese photographers.Reasons for shooting with the iPhone.Recent personal challenges, including his partner Lauren’s brain surgery.Being a ‘connector’. Referenced:Tim HetheringtonChris HondrosGuy MartinChristophe Bangert, War PornCongolese photographer Moyes KayumbaChuck CloseKira Pollack  Website | Instagram | Facebook“In an age of so much bullshit and so many lies, where we don’t know what’s real and what’s not, it’s just so important to show the way the world actually looks.”

If you say “September 11” most people automatically think of the attacks on the World Trade Center buildings and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. What they probably don't even remember happened on September 11, were the attacks on the United States Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012.   On this episode of the Resistance Library Podcast Dave and Sam discuss the two attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.   Once the Libyan Revolution began in February 2011, the CIA began placing assets in the region, attempting to make contacts within the region. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, whose name and image would soon become synonymous with the Benghazi attacks, was the first liaison between the United States and the rebels. The task before the American intelligence community at that time was securing arms in the country, most notably shoulder-fired missiles, taken from the Libyan military.   Eastern Libya and Benghazi were the primary focal points of intelligence-gathering in the country. But there was something else at work here: The CIA was using the country as a base to funnel weapons to anti-Assad forces in Syria, as well as their alleged diplomatic mission.   You can read the full article “The Benghazi Attack: The Forgotten History of the 2012 Attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya” at Ammo.com.   For $20 off your $200 purchase, go to https://ammo.com/podcast (a special deal for our listeners).   Follow Sam Jacobs on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SamJacobs45   And check out our sponsor, Libertas Bella, for all of your favorite Libertarian shirts at LibertasBella.com.   Helpful Links:  The Benghazi Attack: The Forgotten History of the 2012 Attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya Resistance Library Sam Jacobs

Ffoton talks with American documentary photographer Michael Christopher Brown during his early 2018 trip to the UK to plan his next book on Cuba where, as part of his 'Paradiso' project, he's been documenting the electronica music and youth scene in Havana. Whilst working there, he had exclusive access to the funeral cortege of the late leader Fidel Castro as it travelled from Havana to his grave in Santiago. Michael has been a contributing photographer at National Geographic since 2005 and joined Magnum Photos as a nominee in 2013 and an associate from 2015 until June 2017. His best known work to date is his monograph 'Libyan Sugar' which won the Paris Photo First Photobook Award and the International Center of Photography's 2017 Infinity Award for Artist's Book. This unique book demonstrated his skill in using primarily an iPhone to photograph the Libyan Revolution from 2011-2012 where he coverered several battles, was ambushed several times and injured twice. He survived the same mortar attack that killed his close friend and photojournalist colleague Tim Heatherington. We were pleased to have Professor Richard Sambrook conduct the interview - an experienced journalist and ex-Director of News at the BBC who oversaw the BBC's coverage of the 2003 Iraq conflict.

Colin Firth gets suited and booted to save the world in Kingsman, and as a preventative measure we bring in oxygen supplies for Shona. Returning from a stint in the theatre, Mark explains how homoeroticism makes horror musicals less traumatic for young school children. Point And Shoot is a documentary where Matt Van Dyke gives us a glimpse into his crash course in manhood as he takes his motorbike into some of the most dangerous places in the world before, Zelig-like, he ends up taking part in the Libyan Revolution. It's all schlaps on TV in The Slap, starring local hero Zachary Quinto and a front runner for the most-obnoxious-little-kid award of 2015.

Irregular and mixed migration is still of great concern in post-revolutionary Libya, made more complex by the securitisation of border control issues and the inherent challenges of an interim government consolidating its authority.
