synopsis
Robert Frank’s photo collection THE AMERICANS (1958) transformed the landscape of contemporary photography. An exile from Europe, Frank crossed the United States with his camera, searching for the uncomfortable truths of his adopted home. Fifty years later, French director Philippe Séclier decided to retrace his path step by step in this illuminating odyssey, while interviewing Frank's publishers, curators and photo subjects about the book's impact.
