Searching for Hope and Happiness

A student photography contest took place in 2016, commemorating the 60th anniversary of Japan's entry to the United Nations. The theme was "My View on Sustainable Development Goals". Contestants addressed challenges such as poverty, hunger, education and climate change. 622 pictures came in from 47 countries. The judging was led by Leslie Kee, known for his work with Lady Gaga and other celebrities. This program visits Cambodia, Myanmar, and other sites of the selected photos, to hear the photographers' thoughts.
