Katarzyna Sobocinska, a film student in London, visited Nigeria



Katarzyna Sobocinska, a film student in London, visited Nigeria in February 2007 as part of a crew shooting a short student film. "We spent most of the time in a village called Itekun," she says. "People from the village, especially children, were fascinated by the film set." This girl didn't see Sobocinska at first. "I was waiting for the moment when she'd look at me without yet knowing what I was trying to do. I released the camera button exactly when she noticed me."
