McCullin

When a man can talk of the "first" execution he witnessed, and calmly make it clear that this was the just first of many, we can be sure that we are in the presence of someone who has seen the worst the world contains. But what inspires awe in this solid documentary exploring the work of the great photojournalist Don McCullin is just how much he has seen.

His pictures most famously captured the conflict zones of the 1960s and '70s, but in his photo-features for The Sunday Times he reported back from every corner of the globe on a variety of subjects, from jazz musicians in New Orleans to the homeless of London's East End.

But if McCullin inspires awe, he does not inspire envy. Now in his 70s, he is no longer the man who "became totally mad, free, running around like a tormented animal" in Vietnam, but a figure of great introspection, cursed with an almost perfect recall of the horrors he witnessed.
