Synopsis

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough." - Robert Capa

At the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, as the shadow of fascism was spreading around the world, Robert Capa, David "Chim" Seymour, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Gerda Taro, and George Rodger went into the field to witness events that would shake world history, sharing what they saw with those who could not be there, thereby defining the raison d'être of the photoreporter.

In support of their undertaking, and aspiring to greater things, they would set up the famous Magnum Photos cooperative. They were courageous and devoted to each other in the heart of conflicts, where they would go to find and reveal truth.

On the 75th anniversary of the founding of the most famous photography agency in the world, here is the tale of the amazing fate of its now legendary shooting stars.

"All you need is a bit of luck and enough muscle to click the shutter." - David "Chim" Seymour
