Antonin Kratochvil interview in Outside Magazine

"Beneath his foul language and outrageous antics, the Czech photographer is the greatest living observer of human suffering and spirit. Kratochvil spent his early childhood in a Czech labour camp and grew up in Communism's grip. After he fled Czechoslovakia, at the age of 19, he wandered Europe illegally for years, in search of refugee status, was conscripted by the French Foreign Legion, and later deserted the brutal army. He drifted to Amsterdam and then Hollywood and built a career as a photojournalist, doing what came naturally: searching out the places where conflict and suffering were rife. During his 35-plus years in the field, Kratochvil has travelled to radioactive Chernobyl, blood-diamond mines in Sierra Leone, the Niger Delta, Pakistan in the wake of Benazir Bhutto's assassination, Darfur, Iraq, and Afghanistan. In the past two years, he's navigated the Zambezi River to follow malaria's ravages and been airlifted to remote U.S. military bases in the Philippines to photograph Special Forces units." by Eliza Griswold.
