At age 19, Fatima is already a mother, a widow and a refugee from Syria. Through photography, she’s coming to terms with her grief and eyeing the future. “Do You See What I See” lets young refugees shine a light on their world and share it with others. Through writing and photography workshops led by photojournalist Brendan Bannon, they learn to capture their observations in a few lines of poignant prose or a single striking photograph.
