La planche-contact est la première concrétisation physique du travail d'un photographe. Sa première confrontation avec son travail et ses idées. L'étape qui suit, celle de la sélection à partir de la planche-contact, est décisive. Lorsque le spectateur apprécie une œuvre photographique, il ne réalise pas que le cliché qu'il a sous les yeux a été choisi précisément au milieu de beaucoup d'autres, et que, très souvent, c'est uniquement un petit détail qui a pu faire basculer le choix de l'artiste.

Ce statut a donné accès à Schapiro à l'un des plus prodigieux castings jamais réuni, lui permettant de photographier des scènes cultes du film et de capturer des moments mémorables souvent cités en référence tels que « le murmure » et Marlon Brando avec le chat.

Alors que la France revisite ses années 1968, entre nostalgie, déception et désir d’abnégation totale, les Etats Unis se préparent à un grand tournant. Car une chose est certaine : quel que soit le résultat de l’élection américaine, 2008 marquera la fin du règne de George W. Bush.
Il est donc intéressant de remonter plus de quarante ans en arrière et observer à nouveau l’Amérique des années post-JFK : son frère Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, des protagonistes culturels et sportifs noirs et blancs. Bien que divisée sur la question de la guerre au Vietnam, la jeune génération américaine a bien une poignée de « héros » vers qui se tour...
