Photographer and filmmaker Tim Hetherington, who was killed in April 2011, has received the 2013 McCrary Award for Excellence in Journalism from the US Congressional Medal of Honor Society
In these photographs, Tim Hetherington takes a look at the eyes of those who cannot see. From 1999 to 2003, the late photographer visited the Milton Margai School for the Blind in Sierra Leone. Most of these sightless children were victims of the civil war, which began in 1991. Some were mutilated by rebel fighters while others were blinded by shrapnel.
