Gerda Taro photographed for little more than a year when she was killed in Brunete, Spain by a Republican tank which veered out of control while under attack by Franco’s forces. She died the next day of her wounds in a field hospital. In our film we managed to get unique footage of the nurse who was with Gerda when she died. The last thing Gerda asked for was her cameras. Capa, Chim and Taro all died with cameras around their necks, documenting war. In this week’s TIME Magazine it states a quote from our film by Ben Shneiderman, Capa’s nephew. “The film pays tribute to the spirit of three extraordinary photographers Capa, Tara and Seymour who passionately believed that photographs could change and shape the way we see the world.” Our film speaks about the power of photography, the power of information, and how that continues to lead to change. Our Kickstarter site is about helping contribute to a culture which asks for truth and change, which honors photographers committed to that journey! We cannot do the work we need to do for this film without your support! Please tell your friends help us reach our goal! PASS ON THE WORD. This film matters. Thank you.

“The mascot of the Royal Scots”

French Flanders, France, WWI, 1914-1918

“A young soldier of the Royal Scots Regiment holding a black goat kid. As the French farmers were forced to flee their homes many animals were inevitably abandoned. Some undoubtedly ended up in the cooking pot, but others like this kid seem to have been adopted as good luck mascots.

The Royal Scots raised 35 battalions during World War I, of which 15 were on overseas service. The Regiment not only served in the Western Front, but also in the Dardanelles, Macedonia, Egypt and Northern Russia.”
