"A People in Distress: Haiti's Year Without Mercy"

Farrell witnessed what the United Nations called "the worst humanitarian disaster to hit Haiti in 100 years."

Haiti's 2008 hurricane season killed 800 people in what is the western hemisphere's poorest nation. Farrell traveled to the town of Cabaret where, as he describes it, "seeing those dead children — was a nightmare." His heart wrenching reportage is a work of great creativity under challenging conditions, and serves to illustrate the enduring power of feature photography.
