Quote:
"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."
