'The Act of Opinions' by Fiona Slemp

In an age relentlessly submerged with information bombardment and wavering trust in traditional or Westernized journalism, 'The Act of Opinions' presents a montage of uncensored viewpoints spanning diverse demographics. This documentary illustrates the profound impact of misinformation on emotions and worldviews, urging a collective effort to humanize headlines and understand the personal perspectives affected by manipulated narratives. Through candid interviews, it aims to foster dialogue and perspective-sharing in our daily struggle to discern fact from fiction. 'The Collective Manifestation Portfolio' extends this narrative by showcasing portraits and quotes envisioning a future of transparent journalism and evolved communication. As a first venture into photojournalism, this project has been an evolving and gripping journey.

I hope that this work can reflect any viewer's own experience.
