Thank you for sharing Jorge. Great article and beautiful photographs. It’s scary to see such young people, so close from us (I am from Greece), getting ready to go to war. Waiting for part 2.

Loved the narrative and the pictures. Despite the suffering the aesthetic of the photos conveys that sense of utopia so much present in hopeful youth . Looking forward part Ii!
