Salt of the Earth

A FILM BY Wim Wenders, Juliano Ribeiro Salgado

A stunning visual ode to the photographer Sebastiao Salgado
- Jay Weissberg, Variety
The Salt of the Earth doesn’t reveal so much as gracefully confirm that the empathy and humanism that make Salgado’s photojournalistic work so special are also a part of the artist’s outlook on life.
- Boyd van Hoei, The Hollywood Reporter
À la fois une palpitante leçon d'histoire et de géographie et le portrait subtil d'un arpenteur d'exception.
- Le Parisien
Un très beau voyage qui redonne une certaine humanité au mythe Salgado.
- Le Point
