During more than 30 years,'Mo' Amin was our eyes on the frontline in every situation and his honest unwavering approach to photojournalism earned him the unconditional respect. Mo covered every major event in Africa and beyond, braving 28 days of torture, surviving bombs and bullets, even the loss of his left arm in an ammunition dump explosion.
No one captured Africa's pain and passion more incisively than Mohamed Amin, photographer and frontline cameraman extraordinaire. He was the most famous photojournalist in the world, making the news as often as he covered it.'Mo' trained his unwavering lens on every aspect of African life, never shying from the tragedy, never failing to revel in the success. This is an extraordinary documentary about an extraordinary man as told with love, respect and affection by his own son.
