In the past twelve years, more than 1,050 journalists have been killed for reporting the news and bringing information to the public. The United Nations proclaimed November 2 as the “International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists,” a date originally chosen to commemorate the 2013 assassination of two French journalists in Mali.

​OneShot is a new digital format to tell the story of a single photograph in an immersive one-minute video.
