A very touchy film

This film is about one of the greatest men in Africa. He has had a huge influence in the way the Western part of the World have seen on the continent. He was the one who took the pictures that made Bob Geldorf start up the big charity arrangements in both the UK and US.

It's a 90 minute touching documentary with both a few funny moments, and a few very sad moments. I saw it with my class on a so-called "Norwegian premiere" at my school, and I think this documentary should be shown on every TV-station that wants to show the world how a journalist and a human can make a difference if they really want to.

It contains interviews with both family and colleagues, and it tells the story from almost the very beginning to the bitter end. The film also tells you a bit of the story of modern history in East Africa with the breakdown of the colonies.

If you can see this, make sure you do.
