Reporting on the lives political decisions leave behind.

Policy decisions. Human consequences.

What does the end of a war mean for a young person who still cannot go home? What does protection offer a displaced family if it cannot secure housing, education, or work? Exit Wounds explores the distance between political promises and the lives shaped by them, through field reporting and photography focused on youth, displacement, and the aftermath of conflict.

In Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley, Syrian families weigh the possibility of return against the uncertainty of what awaits them. In Bucharest, young Ukrainian refugees rebuild their lives while war continues at home. In Athens, protest movements bring political grievances into the streets. These dispatches follow people navigating decisions made far beyond their communities—and making consequential choices of their own.
