Mo and Me

Synopsis:

Africa's often-turbulent passage through the twentieth century has long been the subject of global focus, and one man was fearless in his ability to capture at first hand the pain and the passion of the great continent. Born in Kenya in 1943, Mohamed "Mo" Amin-photographer and frontline cameraman extraordinaire was arguably the most renowned photojournalist of his era. Bringing his lens to bear on every aspect of African life, he never shied from its tragedies and always revelled in its successes. In a career spanning more than thirty years, Mo covered every major event in Africa and beyond, enduring 28 days of torture, surviving bombs and bullets, and even overcoming the loss of his left arm, to emerge as the most decorated news cameraman of all time.
