Exultant after his October 1966 release from a twenty seven day incarceration in the infamous Kilimamigu terror prison in Zanzibar, Mohamed Amin leaves the East African Airways Fokker Friendship that carried him to freedom - twenty-eight pounds lighter in weight. Kenya's renowned photojournalist Mohamed Amin, also known as 'Six Camera Mo' was best known as a great frontline photojournalist, but he spent more time documenting his country’s beauty, wildlife, culture, people and leaders than anything else. Mo managed to use his cameras for more than a generation to bring East Africa’s most powerful stories into world view.
