Then, photojournalist Orin Langelle joins Eleanor to discuss his new book, Portraits of Struggle, a collection of images of people engaged in the defense of their lands and lives across the globe. He also explains the stories behind the images and what he’s learned about corporate/government domination and popular resistance.
