The film for Sunday 13th November is Salt of the Earth, directed by Wim Wenders (France 2014 Cert 15).

This striking film follows the career of photographer and ethnologist Sebastiao Sagaldo who travels the world capturing humanity in all its guises. The Guardian review of the film said:

“Speaking to Wenders while gazing at – and sometimes through – his back catalogue, Salgado proves an adept and compassionate storyteller, his training as an economist providing sociopolitical insight into the suffering (manmade rather than natural) that threatens to engulf his work. “Everybody should see this image,” he says at one point, although the unspeakable sights captured by his camera prove so unbearable that one is all but forced to look away. Elsewhere, footage of Salgado with Papua’s Yali tribe or the Amazonian Zo’é of Brazil offer a more uplifting portrait of humanity, while the reforestation of the Instituto Terra suggests that all may not yet be lost.”
