A magnificent piece of work

A magnificent piece of work. A long trip through the work of Sebastião Salgado. Essentially it covers his trip from Brazil all round the world and back again to Brazil. It gives a glimpse of some of the photographs from his books, some biography from his son and the vistas where we took these photos. There's some of the story about "Migrations" including ex- Yugoslavia. There's some footage about "Workers". Then there's the Rwanda massacre. This leads him to say that humanity is terrible. Something I don't agree with, in spite of humanities's worse atrocities. But then he comes back with "Genesis" an uplifting story about nature and humanity. In a sense he seems to get over the atrocities and see positive aspects to the human race. This ends with the re-forestation of his home farm. all in all a fascinating trip ending with an optimistic ending.
