    Director Wim Wenders and documentary photographer Sebastian Salgado's legendary life and photography. The black-and-white photo "slideshows" are the largest, covering gold mines in Brazil, poverty in Niger, refugees in Congo, oil fields in Kuwait, the civil war in Yugoslavia, massacres in Rwanda, and more.

The Salt of the Earth quotes

  • Sebastião Salgado - Photographer: We are a ferocious animal. We humans are terrible animals. Our history is a history of wars. It's an endless story, a tale of madness.
