EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by Kent Gavin in Saigon, Vietnam on the 16th of February 1970, we are introduced to a heart-wrenching scene at the Long Thahnh Orphans Village. Amongst the backdrop of two enemy camps, Le Mai stands as one of 2,200 children seeking refuge and safety in this war-torn region. The image showcases a sign that desperately pleads "PLEASE DON'T SHOOT AT ORPHAN VILLAGE" serving as a stark reminder of the constant danger these innocent souls face amidst the chaos. The sight of such an earnest request underlines the vulnerability and fragility of these young lives caught up in circumstances beyond their control. Le Mai's tear-streaked face tells a story all its own - one filled with loss, fear, and uncertainty. The cries emanating from her tiny frame echo through time, representing not only her personal anguish but also embodying the collective pain experienced by countless orphans during this tumultuous era. Surrounded by trees that stand tall yet bear witness to unspeakable horrors, this photograph serves as a powerful testament to both human resilience and tragedy. It encapsulates the harsh reality faced by children who have been robbed of their innocence far too soon. Kent Gavin's evocative snapshot freezes a moment forever etched in history; it compels us to reflect upon our shared humanity and consider how we can protect those most vulnerable among us.
