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.
