Through a Lens Darkly: Black Photographers and the Emergence of a People (2014)
Directed by Thomas Allen Harris
Documentary · 1h 32m
The film explores the role of photography, since its rudimentary beginnings in the 1840s, in shaping the identity, aspirations, and social emergence of African Americans from slavery to the present. The dramatic arch is developed as a visual narrative that flows through the past 160 years to reveal black photography as an instrument for social change, an African American point-of-view on American history, and a particularized aesthetic vision.
