Plot summary

Sebastião Salgado left Brazil in the late 1960s for political reasons and settled in France, where he worked as an economist. His wife, Lélia, bought a camera, and he was drawn to photography; she supported his move to the profession in 1973, first in photojournalism and then in documentary work. Homesick but unable to return to Brazil, he spent a first multi-year project among people elsewhere in the Americas. He then photographed the Sahel and the famine in Ethiopia, including its refugee camps.
