This powerful award-winning film, which premiered at Sundance earlier this year and is now being released theatrically, examines the way black photographers and their subjects have used the camera as a tool for social change. Building on the work of photography historian and scholar Deborah Willis, who is also a Producer on the film, Harris creates a rich and visually stunning tapestry by tapping a treasure trove of photographs from over a century and a half, including forgotten family snapshots and portraits, disturbing visual artifacts of slavery and lynchings, historical photos from the civil rights era, and creative images by contemporary artists. The film poses complex questions about identity, equality, place, and race relations.
