THE SALT OF THE EARTH

Francia, Brasile / 2014 / 110 min / Colour

A portrait and homage to the Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado, tracing his artistic and personal history. A tireless traveller who explored some twenty-six countries, Salgado captured man and nature in their infinite variations, and documented the constantly changing world. His black-and-white images model light and shadow, revealing, with profound sensitivity, the majesty of landscapes and the labours and hardships of man.
