Former United Nations photographer John Isaac has travelled to many war-torn regions and refugee camps during his career, showing the world the suffering that famine and disease can bring. This summer, he visited Rikuzentakata, a town in Iwate Prefecture that was devastated by the Great East Japan Earthquake. He found destruction and desolation, of course. But he also encountered glimmers of hope that are inspiring the community to move forward.
