Gens de Pluie (Rain People) is a series of images where the line between fiction and reality is extremely fine

and moving eyes of William Klein

from police violence and the opioid addiction crisis to the COVID-19 pandemic and the demonstrations in support of Black lives

The people often touch or hold one another

they are honest and authentic vehicles of tragic emotional lucidity
