A Journey With Sebastião Salgado

Documentary

During the last forty years, the photographer Sebastião Salgado has been travelling through the continents, in the footsteps of an ever-changing humanity. He has witnessed the major events of our recent history: international conflicts, starvations and exodus… He is now embarking on the discovery of pristine territories, of the wild fauna and flora, of grandiose landscapes: a huge photographic project which is a tribute to the planet's beauty. Salgado's life and work are revealed to us by his son, Juliano, who went with him during his last journeys, and by Wim Wenders, a photographer himself.

VIBE

A profound journey through humanity's extremes and the planet's raw beauty. It's a visually stunning, emotionally resonant experience that leaves you contemplating our place in the world and the power of art to capture it.
