Retraces the adventurous life of photographer Pierre Verger, a French ethnographer who devoted his life to the study of the reciprocal cultural influences between Bahia, Brazil, and the Benin and Nigeria regions in Africa. Not only were cultural traditions brought from Africa to Brazil by slaves, but former slaves who returned to their native continent brought back Brazilian influences as well. Includes interviews with Verger on Feb. 10, 1996, the day before his death.
