Description
The extraordinary life of photojournalist, artist and avid adventurer Dan Eldon inspired a bestselling book, a foundation to support creative activism, and now a major feature film. Gathering together over 200 pages from Eldon's journals, this revised edition of the critically acclaimed book features a new foreword by Kweku Mandela, a new afterword by Alicia Dougherty and approximately 20 new pieces of art. It is the legacy of a young artist killed by an angry mob in Somalia just as his creative powers were beginning to be recognized by himself and others. Through these elaborately collaged and colorful pages, Eldon's journey will continue to inspire many future generations to come.

Dan Eldon was born in London in 1970 and raised in Nairobi, Kenya. After studying in America and leading safaris in Africa, he travelled as a photojournalist for Reuters. His photographs of Somalia's brutal famine helped trigger an outpouring of international aid. Eldon was stoned to death in 1993 by a Somali mob reacting against a UN bombing. Kathy Eldon is Dan's mother. She has worked as an art teacher, television presenter, magazine editor, journalist, media consultant and television and film producer in Kenya, England, and the United States. She is also the author of 18 books. Kathy and her daughter Amy are the cofounders of the Creative Visions Foundation, a global organisation inspired by Dan's life and dedicated to supporting creative activists. She lives in Malibu, California.
