Le pouvoir des images (2016)

During the Civil War in Spain, photographers saw their friends fall under Franco's bullets, their houses destroyed, the country annihilated. To alert, to testify, they will take photos below their homes, photos of the refugees who will cross the Catalan border by the thousands. From then on, the press will make known to the whole world their distress. The shots of Catalan, Spanish and French photographers: Agusti Centelles, Manuel Moros, Auguste Chauvin will make the headlines, like those of great reporters, Capa, Chim, Taro, or more recently in the news Yannis Behrakis. This film recounts their adventure and reveals their works that have remained in the shadows until now. A story where the intimate mixes with national and international chaos.
