I added the caption of the pic, so that the context is a little clearer. There are some fantastic and shocking snaps in the afghanistan section too. Great find, Duke.

I picked this picture from the whole bunch on the site, simply because, at first glance it looks like something out of a movie. But, it's actually real.

Now that you mention it, it does look like a movie freeze-frame. The "famine" section is by far the most disturbing on the site. Definitely worth putting up here sometime, just for shock value.
