Implication ?

The graphic novel "Le photographe" [1,2] by Lefevre, Guibert and Lemercier has the interesting form of a reality comics. A mixture of photos and drawings to tell Lefevre's adventures with members of Medecins sans frontieres. 1986. Lefevre, a 28 yr old photographer, joins a team of French doctors in Afghanistan. In a fortune hospital, they cure kids, women and "babas", relieve souls, and the photographer cries. Under the frghtening noise of the explosions and helicopter blades during the war between USSR and the moudjahidins.
