Eugene Smith⁠ .⁠ W. Eugene Smith made his last photo essay about industrial mercury poisoning in the Japanese city of Minamata, helping to bring justice and visibility to the victims.⁠ .⁠ Ahead of the new film 'Minamata' - released in 2021 and based on the story of Smith's time spent making the photo essay and book - we revisit an article in which we spoke to Aileen W.

Eugene Smith recounts their experiences documenting the story, and the role of emotional connection in photojournalism. ⁠ .⁠ Read the piece online at the link in bio.⁠ .⁠ PHOTO: Takako Isayama, a 12-year-old fetal (congenital) victim of the Minamata disease, with her mother.
