The Salt of the Earth
Wim Wenders' documentary portrait of Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado.
The Salt of the Earth is Wim Wenders' documentary portrait of Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado, perhaps most famous for his mid-1980s shots of Brazil's biblically vast gold mines and their workers. Notably Salgado photographed the terrible Rwandan genocide of the '90s – after which horror he necessarily switched focus from military subjects to environmental activism instead. Wenders' masterful film fully exploits the supreme power of Salgado's stunning, almost sculptural black-and-white images, which have a profound impact when viewed on the big screen. This is a moving and life-affirming tribute to a singular creative talent.
