The Salt of the Earth

This documentary about the photographic career of Sebastião Salgado is extremely well done. Salgado's earlier photographs, particularly of the sufferings in Africa, are disturbing and devastating to view. I can't imagine the emotional pain he went through to capture those images of the dead and dying. On the other hand, his photographs of the beauty of the Earth for his Genesis project are awe-inspiring and full of life. It's remarkable how one man could capture so much beauty and pain in the course of his life. A very moving film. 5/5
