New York, 1971. After his celebrated days as one of the most revered photojournalists of World War II, W. Eugene Smith feels disconnected from society and his career. Life magazine sends him to the Japanese coastal city of Minamata, whose population has been devastated by mercury poisoning, the result of decades of industrial neglect. Smith immerses himself in the community and his images give the disaster a tearing human dimension.
