Carnival Films, the multi-award winning producer of Downton Abbey, joins forces with legendary photographic agency Magnum Photos to dramatise the story of the most famous photo-agency in the world. Currently in development, drama series 'Magnum' follows its founders Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and David ‘Chim’ Seymour who believed the photographer could make the world a safer place. Courageous, passionate, idealistic, inquisitive, these men set out to capture the world that survived the war.

Since its founding in 1947, the photographers of the Magnum Photos agency have covered the world’s most historic moments and captured the most iconic images of our time. With cameras in hand and private lives often in turmoil, Magnum’s photographers sacrificed everything to capture history through the lens. Magnum will tell of the human stories of love, honour, laughter, betrayal and heartbreak that existed at the agency’s Paris HQ, whilst capturing the action and danger the photographers experienced travelling the world’s hotspots in the second half of the 20th Century.

Well, not sure what to make of this... Kinda feel intrigued yet at the same time the description sounds a little, er, prepackaged and conventional? 🙁

(...sacrificed everything...human stories of love, honour,...betrayal, and heartbreak...Paris...action and danger...travelling the world...).
