| Evgeniy Maloletka won World Press Photo Of The Year with his terrifying, disturbing and heart-breaking image of Iryna Kalinina (32), an injured pregnant woman, from his series The Siege of Mariupol. I saw this event unfolding on a live feed and I heard her sad cries not to be saved but to be left to die. Her baby boy, Miron, was still born. A few hours later, she died. |

THE STORIES THAT MATTER
Every year the World Press Photo Montreal exhibition at Marché Bonsecours in Old Montreal resumes some of the most striking events unfolding in the vast human life experiences in the last year. As we visit the exhibition and take a look back at some notorious events like The Siege of Mariupol or The Price of Peace in Afghanistan we also see events, people and even animals and plants, impacted by everything that is going on but who rarely make the evening news.

To be confronted by all the excellent photojournalism and to read the details of what happened will move you to your core. It is unavoidable. The scariest of all observable events is the accelerating effects of climate change. Mind you, no one has stopped travelling or consuming gas.
