SCREEN PROFITS REPORT

Through a Lens Darkly: Black Photographers and the Emergence of a People

2014 · Thomas Allen Harris · Thomas Allen Harris | Ann Bennett | Don Perry | Deborah Willis | Kimberly Steward · 1 hr 30 min

A film that explores how African American communities have used the camera as a tool for social change from the invention of photography to the present. This epic tale poetically moves between the present and the past, through contemporary photographers and artists whose images and stories seek to reconcile legacies of pride and shame while giving voice to images long suppressed, forgotten, and hidden from sight.
