Das Salz der Erde

Ansel Adams if he shot people. Sebastião Salgado's life as a social-issue photographer is recounted by his son and Wim Wenders. The film surveys his stark black-and-white photos of human suffering, then pivots to his environmental work. A portrait of an artist's late-career change of heart.
