The Back Row Film Series continues with a screening of Documenting the Face of America on Thursday, Aug. 2. Presented by the Arts & Education Council (AEC) and Hunter Museum of American Art, the film event also features remarks by the filmmaker Jeanine Butler. Documenting the Face of America celebrates the courage and vision of a small group of legendary photographers and artists such as Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Gordon Parks, Marion Post Wolcott, Russell Lee and others who worked with the U.S. government during the Great Depression under the unorthodox leadership of Roy Stryker from 1935 - 1943. Together they helped change the course of documentary photography, and introduced Americans to America.
