Sugar cane workers line up to begin cutting cane for the day at the Ingenio San Antonio, in Chichigalpa, Nicaragua. Sugar Cane Workers. February 2020. In Nicaragua in 2013 I photographed an underreported illness where I witnessed a funeral for a sugarcane worker every single day who died from CKDnT (chronic kidney disease of nontraditional causes). Eight years later, I remain deeply committed to telling the story of this global health pandemic.
