Agora Images: #Hope2019

“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And good things never die.”, says Andy Dufresne, the protagonist of the cult classic film, The Shawshank Redemption. In a time where turmoil is present almost everywhere, people look for hope to help guide them. These 50 photographs with the hashtag #Hope2019 are an illustration of the power of hope.
