Friday Film Fest: Das Salz der Erde (2014)

For over forty years, the celebrated Brazilian photographer Sebastiao Salgado documented the landscapes of our changing world along with the human histories intertwined with that world. His photographic journalism captured the full extent of human suffering from war to famine. Exhausted by this catalog of misery, he embarked on a ten-year project to capture images of the still undisturbed places of our planet. His life and work is presented in this documentary by his son Juliano Salgado and the renowned German filmmaker Wim Wenders. The film will be shown in German with German subtitles.
