"Documenting the Face of America: Roy Stryker and the FSA/OWI Photographers" with director Jeanine Butler
Narrated by Julian Bond, this documentary brings to life the remarkable stories behind the legendary group of New Deal-sponsored photographers who traversed the country in the 1930s and early '40s, chronicling the lives of Americans --- rich and poor, urban and rural, black and white --- to create one of the most astonishing documentary portraits of America ever compiled. The film features the personal vision and the struggles experienced by photographers Gordon Parks, Dorothea Lange, Russell Lee, Walker Evans, Marion Post Wolcott and Jack Delano, who created some of the most iconic images in documentary history.
