“I can't explain where the courage I feel as a journalist comes from, but when I pick up my camera, an inner voice says keep going. No matter what happens, just keep going. I feel like I'm carrying a weapon. When I turn on the microphone, I feel that at least I managed to save one breath and pass on a message to the people.”
