A journey with the legendary German Magnum photographer, Thomas Hoepker, one of the most important living photographers worldwide; his pictures became icons of photojournalism. After a 2017 diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, he embarks on his last one big dream - a road trip through the USA with his wife Christine. Hoepker, the man whose art has become part of the collective memory is now losing his own memories, all the while he continues to see life through his unique eyes and captures his visions on film for us to see.
