Girl from Viral #BringBackOurGirls Photo is Not a Kidnapped Nigerian Schoolgirl
Photographer and filmmaker Ami Vitale has been to Guinea-Bissau three times -- in 1993, 2000 and 2011 -- for the Alexia Foundation, bringing back powerful photographs that show a different, more hopeful side of Africa.
And yet, somehow, three of those images have this week become the viral face of a Twitter campaign meant to raise awareness about a group of Nigerian girls who were kidnapped from their school by a terrorist organization called Boko Haram in mid-April.
