Alixandra Fazzina (@alixandrafazzinanoor) tells us about her series A Million Shillings – Escape from Somalia for a new series on @vice & @vicevideo. In it she recalls the harrowing details of the stories behind her photographs; from meeting the smugglers, witnessing executions, and capturing the many lives lost. She titled her work A Million Shillings because a million Somali shillings, about the equivalent of $50, is the price paid by emigrants, or tahrib, risking their lives to embark with smugglers on a perilous voyage across the Gulf of Aden in the search of a better life.
