Review of ‘The Story of One’: “Kannan bears witness on our behalf reminding us yet again of the power of not only the moving voice, but of the moving picture” Manuel Rivera-Ortiz, November 2013

“Rooted in reportage and traditional documentary filmmaking, Kannan’s film doesn’t try to tone down these atrocities. Instead, he treats the viewer to the very voices of those that had been there and lost loved ones,” said Foundation Founder and President Manuel Rivera-Ortiz. “Kannan bears witness on our behalf reminding us yet again of the power of not only the moving voice, but of the moving picture. His work exemplifies the core mission of our foundation.” Manuel Rivera Ortiz Foundation for Photography & Film, November 2013
