During the last forty years, the photographer Sebastião Salgado has been travelling through the continents, in the footsteps of an ever-changing humanity. He has witnessed the major events of our recent history: international conflicts, starvations and exodus… He is now embarking on the discovery of pristine territories, of the wild fauna and flora, of grandiose landscapes: a huge photographic project which is a tribute to the planet's beauty. Salgado's life and work are revealed to us by his son, Juliano, who went with him during his last journeys, and by Wim Wenders, a photographer himself.

The Salt of the Earth is a 2014 documentary that follows renowned photographer Sebastião Salgado's four decades of work capturing humanity and nature across the globe. Directed by Wim Wenders and Juliano Salgado, the film chronicles Salgado's journey from documenting major historical events and human crises to exploring pristine landscapes and wildlife in his later career.
