"Where Are the Photos of People Dying of COVID?" | Amanpour and Company

It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words. But during the pandemic, many of the images of those suffering and dying are withheld from public view.

She joins Walter Isaacson to explain the vital role of artists and photojournalists during a crisis like this.

Originally aired on May 14, 2020.
