The film was shown aboard Silversea's 11 ships throughout June.

It was earlier premiered at the Royal Geographical Society in London

Many Silversea journeys feature in the film

McCurry has traveled to more than 35 countries as part of his exclusive collaboration with Silversea and many of these journeys feature in the film, including trips to India, Mongolia, Madagascar, Bhutan, the Arctic, the Virunga Mountains and Uganda.

From challenges in childhood to the pinnacle of world photography, 'McCurry: The Pursuit of Color' charts McCurry’s rise to the top of his craft. His body of work spans conflicts, vanishing cultures, ancient traditions and contemporary culture yet always retains the human element that made his celebrated 1984 image of the 'Afghan Girl' so powerful.

The perfect ambassador

'We are honored to work closely with Steve and to sponsor, co-produce and screen this insightful film, directed by award-winning Director Denis Delestrac,' Silversea President/CEO Barbara Muckermann said. 'Silversea Cruises facilitates immersive travel as a form of self-enrichment, encouraging a deep respect for the planet and the communities we visit. In this regard, Steve McCurry is the perfect ambassador for our cruise line.'

'McCurry: The Pursuit of Color' is available on Amazon Prime Video (US and UK) and Apple TV (US).
