Wim Wenders and Juliano Ribeiro Salgado collaborate on this documentary tribute to Juliano’s father Sebastião Selgado, the world-renowned photographer whose decades spent chronicling some of the darkest corners of the globe led him to a terrible crisis of faith — and a late-life act of rejuvenation.

For the last forty years, Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado has documented some of the most horrific and catastrophic events on our planet — famine, disease, deprivation, war and genocide — as well as the stunning endurance, courage and nobility of those who face it. Scarred by his experiences, he returned to his family's drought-ridden farm and managed to reinvigorate it through a system of experimental replanting. The success of this endeavour inspired his new photographic project "Genesis," which seeks to capture the beauty and grandiosity of those landscapes still unspoiled by human intervention. This stunning new documentary, co-directed by master filmmaker Wim Wenders (Pina) and Salgado's son Juliano Ribeiro Salgado, takes us on a stunning visual odyssey as we see the world through the eyes of one of the greatest image-makers of the last century — its pain and tragedy as well as its beauty and hope. "Illuminating and uplifting .... a moving tribute to a peerless talent" (Andrew Pulver, The Guardian).
