Da quarant'anni Salgado attraversa i continenti sulle tracce di un'umanità in pieno cambiamento e di un pianeta che a questo cambiamento resiste. Dopo aver testimoniato alcuni tra i fatti più sconvolgenti della nostra storia contemporanea - conflitti internazionali, carestie, migrazioni di massa - si lancia adesso alla scoperta di territori inesplorati e grandiosi, per incontrare la fauna e la flora selvagge in un grande progetto fotografico, omaggio alla bellezza del pianeta che abitiamo. La sua vita e il suo lavoro ci vengono rivelati dallo sguardo del figlio Juliano Ribeiro Salgado, che l'ha accompagnato nei suoi ultimi viaggi, e da quello di Wenders, fotografo egli stesso.

110 min
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.
