TED Talk: Photojounalist Stirs People to Action

On August 12 I'm giving a talk at Stanford about how each person has particular gifts that can be used to bring about positive social change. I love the TED Talks podcast because it proves this point so powerfully. In this TED Talk, James Nachtwey - perhaps the greatest war photographer of our time - discusses how "his intention is to record the truth, to document the struggles of humanity, and with this, to wake people up and stir them to action."

Salon.com says, "He's clearly one of those rare characters who focus singularly on their work with a missionary-like sense of purpose."
