The borough’s latest cultural center will officially open this weekend with an exhibit dedicated to fallen photo documentarian, Tim Hetherington, at the Bronx Documentary Center in Melrose.

Tim Hetherington was killed while doing what he loved: documenting the realities of war and disseminating the truth to the world and this weekend’s exhibition will focus on just that. >
