I never knew much about The Mexican Suitcase, but this is an awesome presentation by Ted Forbes.

Saw this at ICP awhile ago. Great back story that adds to a great collection of negatives taken by Capa and a few of his colleagues.

There's a 90 minute documentary on Netflix (in the U.S.) called "The Mexican Suitcase" that also examines this history.

Very cool. I was also amused by the highly expressive style of the narrator.
