How 655,000 Rohingya Muslims Escaped

The New York Times has reported extensively on the Rohingya crisis from the start. Many of the stories explained the situation or focused on some of the people directly affected by atrocities. The goal of this visual project was to present powerful visual evidence documenting the truth on the ground in Myanmar and Bangladesh. We wanted to capture the epic trajectory of the entire event and show the horrors of the beginning, middle and current state. To do so, we sent multiple video journalists and multiple photo journalists to the region on several occasions. And we assembled a small team of editors and producers in New York to develop the story a visual narrative.
