Details

• Release Year: 2005
• Genre: Documentary
• Plot: No other image in history has been reproduced as many times as Alberto Korda's portrait of Che Guevara. That shot, taken at a memorial service on March 5th, 1960, became the international symbol of protest and rebellion, yet the photographer never profited from the image he gave to the world. As Fidel Castro's personal photographer, the man born as Alberto Diaz Gutierrez captured more than 12,000 images of the Cuban Revolution as it unfolded. His photographs have garnered international acclaim, decorated museum galleries, and adorned more T-shirts and bedroom walls worldwide than anyone could possibly calculate. In spite of his fame, Alberto Korda remains one of the most humble artisans the world has ever known. Kordavision is a Cuban Revelation, from Korda's pioneering work in the world of fashion photography to his groundbreaking exploration of underwater optical imaging, a career spanning fifty years comes full circle when the artist is reunited with his subject.;
