AMERICA AND LEWIS HINE
Narrated by Jason Robards and Maureen Stapleton
“...Virtuous...superior.”
“Clearly one of the major American documentaries of recent years.”
Winner of the Special Jury Prize at Sundance, AMERICA & LEWIS HINE is a revealing portrait of the visionary photographer who recorded the human side of America's wrenching transformation into an industrial colossus. His images-- of child laborers, immigrants and working men and women -- include some of the most powerful and famous photographs ever taken.
Narrated by Jason Robards, Maureen Stapleton and John Crowley, and with brilliant direction from Academy-Award nominated Nina Rosenblum, and co-produced and written by Dan Allentuck this extraordinary film features hundreds of Hine's photographs, many never seen before.
A co-production of WNET, PBS, CPB and Channel 4/UK and was broadcast on Senderfreis, Berlin, Channel 4/UK and Arte
