EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured on March 14th, 1977, we witness the courageous Ugandan pilot Charles Balidawa seeking refuge in Britain from the oppressive regime of President Amin. The image portrays a pivotal moment as Balidawa is seen leaving the Home Office Immigration and Nationality Department in Croydon. With his determined gaze and resolute posture, Balidawa embodies both strength and vulnerability. His decision to flee his homeland reflects the immense challenges faced by individuals striving for freedom amidst political turmoil. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost associated with oppressive regimes. The black-and-white composition adds depth to this historical snapshot, emphasizing the gravity of Balidawa's situation. Every line etched on his face tells a story of struggle and resilience against all odds. As he steps into an uncertain future, one can only imagine the mix of emotions that must be coursing through his veins - hope for safety juxtaposed with sorrow for leaving behind loved ones and familiar surroundings. This print captures not just an individual seeking asylum but also represents countless others who have been forced to abandon their homes due to political persecution. It stands as a testament to humanity's unwavering spirit when faced with adversity. Decades later, this image continues to resonate deeply within our collective consciousness, reminding us that compassion knows no borders or boundaries. It urges us never to forget those who have risked everything in pursuit of freedom and inspires us to create a world where everyone can live without fear
