Quote:
"Carnival Films, the multi-award winning producer of Downton Abbey,
joins forces with legendary photographic agency Magnum Photos to
dramatise the story of the most famous photo-agency in the world.
Currently in development, drama series 'Magnum' follows its founders
Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and David ‘Chim’
Seymour who believed the photographer could make the world a safer
place. Courageous, passionate, idealistic, inquisitive, these men set
out to capture the world that survived the war.
Since its founding in 1947, the photographers of the Magnum Photos
agency have covered the world’s most historic moments and captured the
most iconic images of our time. With cameras in hand and private lives
often in turmoil, Magnum’s photographers sacrificed everything to
capture history through the lens. Magnum will tell of the human stories
of love, honour, laughter, betrayal and heartbreak that existed at the
agency’s Paris HQ, whilst capturing the action and danger the
photographers experienced travelling the world’s hotspots in the second
half of the 20th Century."
