150 shots taken during the most significant moments of the 20th century, converting news into history.
From Robert Capa, the pioneer of photojournalism, who died in Indo-China, to René Ochlik, the young French reporter who died in Syria, hundreds of photographers have portrayed all the great events of our time through the camera: from the Spanish Civil War to the two World Wars, from the student revolts of 1968 to the banishment of apartheid in South Africa, from Vietnam to Indo-China, from Bosnia to the bombing of the Twin Towers, right up to the recent dramatic events of the Arab Spring.
These photographers who risk danger, sometimes risking their own lives to be there, to witness history as it unfolds, are true heroes of our time.
