The Salt of the Earth

Brilliant documentary on photographer saldago, his history, his causes, and family. Must WATCH

Absolutely fantastic! Amazing story from beginning to end! shows the horrible sides of humanity and our capability for greatness! Excellent soundtrack and magnificent visuals!

Fabulous to look at -- Wenders does a job worthy of Salgado himself. Always visually stunning whether the imagery is of inhumanity or the beauty of nature.

A must see for every human being. Speechless.

This movie touched me deeply- not just the visual imagery or the humanist philosophy. It was the transformation of Salgado's soul and his eventual gratitude that inspired me to be happy for each day of life this Earth gives.

Sr. Salgado is undisputably one of the best photographers of our times; this movie/documentary tells the story of the incredible journey that is his life. Strong images keep the viewer intensely focused; some are shocking but, as he says, EVERYONE should see these pictures, they help us realize what the world is like outside our comfort zone. I am glad that he was able to survive all the horror he witnessed and managed to rechannel his efforts into doing something really positive. The last book he made, Genesis - result of over a decade of hard work - is, in my opinion, the BEST photography book ever published. Well worth seeing for anyone with an interest in photography, social events, travel, humanity. The obvious conclusion is that he managed to become not only a superb photographer, but also a wonderful human being.

Wim Wenders's cinematography coupled with Sebastiao Salgado's stunning and emotional photography, and the positive legacy he will leave us with, makes this film an absolute must see. Bravo !

Sebastião Salgado is my favorite photographer by far... This documentary is AMAZING... AWESOME... I have no words to describe my admiration for him and how this documentary is good.

Indeed a picture paints a thousand words. Deeply moving. I got teary-eyed at one point.

One of the best documentary, the photographs in the documentary are beautiful and each photo tells a story, couldn’t believe at the end how his father’s land been transformed, so hopeful.. Simply loved it.
