Abstract

Based on Sinnerbrink’s proposal for the ethical approach to cinematographic works and framed by Ricoeur’s ethical aspiration of tending to a good life, the article analyzes the documentary film The Salt of the Earth by directors Wim Wenders and Juliano R. Salgado. The text studies the ethical problems that arise from the representation of the pain and suffering of others around the narrative of a life well lived, in reference to the Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado, at the levels of the text, the authors, critical reception and historical, cultural and ideological perspectives.

Keywords: Wenders | Salgado | Ethics | Representation
