James Mackay is a photographer and activist.
He has traveled in and out of Burma photographing former political prisoners.
His new book “Abhaya: Burma’s Fearlessness” includes prominent activists such as opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
Anchor Marco Werman talks to Mackay, who says he chose that title for his book because of the tenacity of the former prisoners he met.
