Misan Harriman has been called “the most talked about photographer of our times”. He is known for his portraits of A-list celebrities and royalty but his true passion is social justice and photographing protest movements around the world. This film sees him take that work to a new level, on a journey across three continents. But, in a world more divided than ever, he is forced to question whether protest can actually influence social change and if his own work really makes a difference.
Misan seeks answers around the world, from London to L.A. of the Oscars; via South Africa, where his photographic hero helped defeat Apartheid; to the streets of Minneapolis where George Floyd was murdered. That horrific, seismic event is the beating heart of this emotive film. On his journey, Misan documents the resilience and determination of activists fighting for equality and peace. It’s also an observation of own his personal evolution, as he seeks insights from the likes of Martin Luther King III and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
