Review of "Salt of the Earth"

Full review

Extraordinary B&W photography would have made this stunning on ots own, but the story of the man's life and work including the return to his roots and recreating the forest which had been destroyed to pay for his and his sister's education and thus bring life back to the paradise he inhabited as a child make it a real tour de force.
