From Somalia’s painful struggles, to Liberia’s apocalyptic civil war. In fact before he was killed Martin Adler recorded pretty much every war going. His blood-stained but very human dispatches helped define the way we saw foreign conflicts for over a decade. His quiet sensitivity while in the heart of darkness bought him awards and acclaim. For the first time his photographs and thousands of hours of video have been brought together to produce a riveting profile of an extraordinary man. “This bloke knows what he’s seen but he’s not talking!”, cries a US army troop embodying the gung ho attitude at the start of the Iraq war. Haunting scenes from Martin’s life flash before our eyes – women sweeping the ground in the middle of a bombed-out Chechnya; a Liberian warlord holding an AK 47 in one hand and a baby in the other; desecrated landscapes from Uganda to Algeria. Martin allowed the images to speak for themselves, fuelled by a fearless curiosity, which would eventually get him killed: “I want to go to the place where nobody else goes to and I want to listen to the people nobody else listens to”. It takes a particular kind of man to be a war reporter – living on your wits on an unsteady income, never knowing what the next day will bring.

Agniputhri in this episode shows the impacy=t that has taken place between the murder of Yamuna and the press photographer who are in back of the culprit is making new shades on it.
The “Bill” in question is 80+ New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. For decades, this Schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and high society charity soirées for the Times Style section in his columns “On the Street” and “Evening Hours.” Documenting uptown fixtures (Wintour, Tom Wolfe, Brooke Astor, David Rockefeller—who all appear in the film out of their love for Bill), downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham’s enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair. In turn, Bill Cunningham New York is a delicate, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace.
