Synopsis
In 2007, three suitcases were discovered among the belongings of the Mexican ambassador to Vichy France. Inside were approximately 4,500 negatives shot during the Spanish Civil War by revered war photographers: David "Chim" Seymour, Gerda Taro, and Robert Capa. They were subsequently returned to Cornell Capa, the younger brother of Robert, and founder of the International Center of Photography in New York City. The exhibit that followed spurned the interest of filmmaker Trisha Ziff and creative advisor John Sayles, who both yearned to explore the spiritual fallout of the conflict documented in the photos.
