On Instagram, Marcus Bleasdale (@marcusbleasdale) is a documentary photographer who uses his work to influence policy makers across the world. According to his website, his job as a photojournalist had led him to work "extensively in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo documenting a war funded by the extraction of the minerals used in every day electronic products. Marcus has partnered with international advocacy groups Human Rights Watch and the Enough Project to engage US and European politicians and multinational companies to change government policy and working practices." Here is his
website where you can look through his portfolio. In this touching picture posted above, he captioned it "The mother of Eliam Fedongare 24, greets him and celebrates as he arrives home with his father Jean de Dieux. They were abducted in their farm [..] They escaped during an attack on a local village."
