<i>Award-winning photojournalist James Nachtwey revealed today the
disease XDR-TB as the subject of his TED Prize wish.(...) The story will be
spread via an eight-page spread in TIME magazine, a gathering of global activists and leaders, and outdoor screenings
around the world and across the Internet in an effort to raise awareness about the disease.
(...) In raising awareness about XDR-TB, a virulent, mutated strain of traditional TB existent
in 49 countries and responsible for more than 20,000 preventable deaths each year, Nachtwey comments,
<blockquote>Photographers go to the extreme edges of human experience to show people what's going on. They aim their pictures
at your best instincts: generosity, a sense of right and wrong, the ability and the willingness to identify with others, the
refusal to accept the unacceptable.</blockquote>
Nachtwey’s slideshow will be screened in public spaces in cities around the world, including New York, Paris, Los
Angeles, Melbourne, Seoul, Hong Kong, and London, on all 7 continents and across the internet starting on October 3,
and continuing throughout the month.</i>
