THE GIRL WITH THE LEICA

by Alina Marazzi

synopsis

Paris, 14 July 1937. Gerda Taro spends, with Robert Capa—one of her great loves—and the friends with whom she fled Nazi Germany, her last day before returning to the Spanish front with her Leica. At a time when everything still seems possible, past and present intertwine in the portrait of the first female photojournalist to be killed on the battlefield.
