This film brings to life the remarkable stories behind the
legendary group of New Deal-sponsored photographers who traversed
the country in the 1930s and early 1940s, capturing the face of
Depression-era America. The program explores 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 history.
This unlikely group of photographers and artists was brought
together by a fiery prairie populist and government bureaucrat
named Roy Stryker. Julian Bond narrates.
