Saw it last year, and checked out couple of his books afterwards as well. What a pair of eyes!!!!

Loved the movie.

Managed to buy the DVD. Love it and an inspiration to anyone who loves photography.

I started watching this and then immediately stopped when I saw he was shooting with a Canon. I imagined how much better his images could have been with a Nikon system.....

I was lucky enough to see it during its run in theaters. Seeing his work on a big movie screen was amazing. One of the greatest documentary/photojournalists of all time.

Thanks for all the comments. I watched the DVD on my TV. His humanity and caring are just as incredible as his photography.

Saw the movie "Salt of the Earth" a few weeks ago on tv. To think that movie was made in 1954, subjects cover in that movie are still very important today, as when the movie was made.

That's a good movie, but that's not the one we're talking about. The one about Sebastian Salgado was made in 2014.

And they say Nikon users have closed minds I am so glad you have disproved that!

Thanks for the tip on Salgado. Found some intriguing you-tube documentaries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r812dWTTBAU
