"The Mexican Suitcase, is a film about photography. Pictures taken by photographers who would become icons of the twentieth century - They photographed with a Leica and changed the way we saw war. All three would die while documenting wars. The Mexican Suitcase tells their story. It is is also a film about the power of memory. It's a great story and asks... Who owns our histories? Why does the past matter today? " - Tisha Ziff
