Marseille Après La Guerre is a poetic, black-and-white portrait of dock workers in post-WWII Marseille, and is also an homage to the great Senegalese film director, Ousmane Sembène. Several years ago, while researching the history of the National Maritime Union (a radical union of sailors founded in 1937), Woodberry discovered a collection of images made by union photographers of the docks in Marseille, many portraying dock workers of African descent.
