Portrait of photographer Co Rentmeester who took the photo took the photo that became the Nike logo after the company stole it.
This is an excellent bio of a photographer who changed the way we look at the world. His work is some of the most recognizable in history. The film is also a shocking portrait of how a sneaker country screwed and artist and made it easier for other corporations to do so.
I loved this film. I think it's a great film. At the same time it's clear that both Rentmeester and the lawsuit against Nike needs to be expanded. This could have and should have been a feature film. There is so much more to say on both subjects.
My desire to see this as a feature aside, this film is a must see when it plays again at Tribeca or wherever you can see it.
