“A documentary photographer will never remove those cans.” -Dorothea Lange

This documentary by PBS is a MUST see for anyone who’s into documentary photography. I’m watching it for the second time. Enjoy.

Her photograph Migrant Mother is one of the most recognized and arresting images in the world, a portrait that came to represent America’s Great Depression. Yet few know the story, struggles and profound body of work of the woman who created the portrait: Dorothea Lange. Directed and narrated by Lange’s granddaughter Dyanna Taylor, the two-hour film premieres Friday, August 29 at 9 pm on PBS.
