Klappentext One of the world¿s foremost documentary photographers offers an unflinching look at the inhuman conditions suffered by the mentally ill and disabled in many countries. Zusammenfassung In some countries, they call them the 'abandonados', the abandoned ones.

This work contains images that reveal the inhumane treatment suffered by the mentally disabled.
