Using photography to highlight stories of human resilience and the quest for liberty
We are an initiative of the World Illustrated Foundation, a registered non-profit incorporated in Florida, USA. Affiliated with World Illustrated Inc, we're building a platform to gain wider reach for our causes and help users build communities in support of freedom.
At Cry Freedom, we use photography to highlight stories of resilience and the quest for liberty. Our aim is to improve the quality, opportunity and enjoyment of day-to-day life, no matter where or what.
We have no political agenda of our own. We focus not only on big, internationally recognized struggles for freedom, but also on local, simpler ones. We may publish stories on both sides of an argument, so long as creators are truly trying to improve the human condition.
Discover powerful stories of resilience and freedom from around the world, captured through the lens of our photographers.
