This film covers serious subjects; the coverage of conflict through photojournalism, a sensitive view of humanity and a search for peace in the world.

“I liked this. I donu0026#39;t know much about photography or journalism. But this is also about humanity. The main guy John Morris was an important person. At over 90 years old in the film he is still sharp and compassionate. He had quite a life.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMuch of this film is about war. There is a strong antiwar message. There are incredible photos, many quite famous. Some you may have known for many years. The power of the picture is clear. You can see something as a young person and remember it all your life.”
