Considered one of the most influential photojournalists of the 20th century, self-taught French photographer Henri Dauman captured the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol, and JFK. Despite his prolific career, his extraordinary story remains largely untold.
Director Luca Severi presents a poignant exploration of the remarkable photographer. Dauman's early life was marked by tragedy. Orphaned during WWII, he survived after his mother bravely hid him in a rural village. After the war, he emigrated to New York, where his dedication to photography and unique artistic vision earned him a coveted position at Life Magazine. Over four decades, Dauman captured some of the most iconic moments in American culture.
Retracing his steps back to the rural French village where he narrowly escaped death, this documentary chronicles both Dauman's prestigious artistic achievements and his inspiring personal journey. Through interviews with Dauman and luminaries in the world of photography and journalism, this inspiring film is a testament to Dauman's resilience, artistry, and the power of a camera lens.
