The bigger picture

‘The issues we are spoonfed by the media often aren’t the issues most people are living with. The issues we are shown are media-friendly, with the aim of enraging and rousing people to anger.’ - Eve Barrett (indirect quote)

Instead of being bombarded by LGBTI and miniskirt intolerance and images of Kony’s child soldiers, another issue became more observable: people’s mental health, a subject discussed with difficulty in a ‘first world’ context, which is no different in Uganda.
