In Between – Abhijit Chattaraj

In Between

Three and a half decades after the war in Indo-China officially came to an end, Vietnam stands at a point when history is turning a page. As it moves away from the scars of conflict to embrace the promise of prosperity, one Vietnam strains at the fetters of poverty and deprivation, the other winces from memories of living nightmares. The iron fist of an authoritarian regime has softened, but its grip remains, and fears of uncertainty linger like ghosts in the shadows of the mind. These photographs are glimpses into the lives of Vietnamese people: images from bustling cities and sleepy villages nestled among mangrove swamps, of people who have endured and persevered, who have faced adversity with temperance, and hardship with resolve. People who toil today in the hope of a better tomorrow.
