Thomas Höpker is one of the most important living photographers worldwide. His pictures became icons of photojournalism. He was the first German to become a full member of the legendary agency MAGNUM Photos , which he later headed as its chairman.

In 2017, Thomas Höpker was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. The man whose art has become part of the collective memory is now slowly losing his own memories. A stroke of fate that he consciously wants to confront, however, with a lot of humor and enthusiasm for his work.

His last big dream: a road trip through the USA together with his wife Christine. Once again they want to embark on a great journey together, a new edition of the trip that established his international reputation as a photographer in the early 1960s. He called this road trip through the USA "Heartland".

The result is a personal and highly emotional journey in a historic time between pandemic and presidential election.
