Elliot: Nathan Elliot and Al Moulia

elliot: We just wanted to show the faces of these people and how amazing and beautiful they are, Nathan Elliot, founder of the company, said, according to CBC. Elliot recruited Hani al Moulia to be the man behind the lens. On Saturday, Front Runner Technologies hosted a photoshoot for the project, which will feature 150 different faces. It's really special for me because I'm one of these guys, said al Moulia, who left his home in Homs, Syria, when the country's devastating conflict began and members of his family were killed. What it's like at a refugee camp through the camera lens of a refugee Virtual reality film to show life through visually-impaired man's eyes Al Moulia said while the subjects of the photos may not yet speak the same language as the people in their new country, their face will be able to connect them to the new community. It's really important to, you know, tell people in this celebration that we're part of the new community. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
