Synopsis

Few have revolutionized photography as much as French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. The father of modern photojournalism, who died in 2004, helped popularize “street photography” or “life reportage”—a style that influenced generations of photographers. In this documentary, he recounts the crucial moments of his life, such as his meeting with Gandhi, while his photographs illustrate his work.
