Johnny Depp - Eugene Smith's work always shows the truth in each piece

A short video that conveys the charm of lonely press photographer Eugene Smith
"MINAMATA", which depicts photographer William Eugene Smith, who made Minamata disease, one of Japan's four major pollutions, known to the world, will be released on September 23. This time, a short video unraveling the story of photographer Eugene has been released.

The short video goes on with Johnny's story introducing Eugene.

Eugene has been active as a photographer since high school, and during World War II, he photographed fierce battlegrounds such as Saipan, Iwo Jima, and the Battle of Okinawa as a battlefield photographer. Even after the war, he decorated the main page of "LIFE" magazine many times with photo essays that cut out the real faces of people lurking in casual daily life. He is a full member of the global photographer group "Magnum Photo" and has been selected as one of the world's top ten photographers by "Popular Photography" magazine.

However, while Eugene gained worldwide recognition, as Johnny said, "he experienced many hardships and was seriously injured and lonely". He had a big wound on his mind and body in the war.

The theme that Eugene chose at the end of his life was Minamata disease.

Shocked by the situation in Minamata at that time, he moved to Minamata City with his partner Irene Miyoko Smith for three years from 1971. He continued to turn off the shutters at various sites such as patients' homes, hospitals, protest gatherings, courts, and the front of Chisso Tokyo headquarters.

Eugene interacts with the people of Minamata and makes friendships sprout with her unadorned personality. As Johnny says, "I kept being attracted to Eugene's photos because the truth is always shown in each picture"

Depicting the later years of Robert Capa Award-winning photographer Eugene Smith
This work is based on the true story of photographer William Eugene Smith, who made Minamata disease, one of the four major pollution diseases in Japan, which was caused by wastewater from the Chisso factory in Minamata City, Kumamoto Prefecture, about the world.

Based on the photo book "MINAMATA", which has become the last work of Eugene, whom he has longed for for many years, Johnny made his own film, saying, "We must make full use of the power of the film and tell the story of this history." Other appearances are Hiroyuki Sanada, Hayao Kunimura, Minami, Ryo Kase, Tadanobu Asano, Akiko Iwase, and Bill Nai. The director is Andrew Levitas, and the music is Ryuichi Sakamoto.

The setting of this work is New York in 1971. One day, Eugene is asked by a woman who calls herself Irene to take pictures of people suffering from the harmful substances that the Chisso factory in Minamata City, Kumamoto Prefecture, flows into the sea. Children who are invaded by mercury and can't walk or talk, the intensifying protest movement, and the factory side that suppresses it with force - Eugene, who is surprised by such a scene and continues to press the shutter, buys the negation from the president of Chisso for a lot of money. Because he refused the offer, he was in a dangerous counterattack. Eugene, who was cornered, made a proposal to people living with Minamata disease and took a picture that changed his own life and the world...

Eugene lived with Irene in Minamata City for three years, covering the problem of Minamata disease, and in 1975, she published a photo book "MINMATA" in the United States under her joint name with Irene, which caused a great response around the world. The following year, he won the Robert Capa Award.

The original photo book "MINAMATA" has been out of print for a long time, but will be republished on September 7 for the first time in about 40 years.

In addition, non-fiction writer Taeko Ishii's latest work "Let's Take a Picture of the Soul Eugene Smith and Irene Minamata" will also be released on September 10.

"MINAMATA - Minamata -" will be released on September 23.
