His stories about the photos are wonderful. You find yourself smiling throughout the whole show.

photographer again since he was linked to Obama and isn't objective anymore. I don't know if this is his opinion or if this is the protocol.

And some of the people he comforted...tornado victims or whatever. I couldn't help wondering if they are now drumpf supporters.

Souza captured so much more than words could ever have. I'm still teary eyed, from a deeply moving and beautiful photographic accounting, accompanied with equally moving and fascinating narrative.

I'd watch it again. I'd love to see these photos in person.
