Feature-documentary directed by Jacques Menasche on the life and work of French photographer Olivier Rebbot, mortally wounded in El Salvador in 1981. He was only 31

In an era before local journalists and photographers were being hired to bring us the news — an advance for which I am personally glad — Olivier and a small group of globe-trotting photojournalists provided nearly all the world’s news photography. Many of them — David Burnett, Patrick Chauvel, Raymond Depardon, Benoit Gysemberg and Susan Meiselas — appear in this film.  In the end, it is their story as well as his.

Featuring: Susan Meiselas, filmmaker Raymond Depardon, and US Ambassador Robert White.
