Synopsis
"Historian, record-keeper, artist": is how Joel Meyerowitz describes himself when talking about his determination to document the 9/11 attacks. The still-smoking ruins revived the fire that drove him in 1962, the start of his photographic stroll (then in black and white) through the streets of NYC. Over 52 minutes interspersed with archive footage, Meyerowitz analyses the change in his views at the end of the sixties, justifies his aesthetic and political biases, makes photography's upheavals echo those of the world, and lucidly deciphers the changes of era.
