    If the world is like a delicacy, then "The Salt of the Earth" is the necessary seasoning salt. The film builds a shocking image through photos and words, giving people a real glimpse of the pulse of the earth and human beings. The film is accompanied by photography. Teacher Sebastian's camera vision not only presents the dark death of the world, but also sows the redemption of hope. Both hell and heaven exist in the world.

  • Sebastião Salgado - Photographer: To think that these three-month-old trees will reach their apex in 400 years. Perhaps from there we could try to grasp the concept of eternity. Maybe eternity is measurable.
