Description
HARLEM TO VIETNAM
From the life story of Gordon Parks. Best selling author, award-winning life magazine photographer, composer, director, and writer of "Shaft" and "The Learning Tree".
Now for the first time in his own words and pictures, the life of Gordon Parks. Combining the actual footage of the era, the famed black photographer helped to make history. Filming police brutality on the mean streets of Harlem, Civil Rights in the Deep South, anguishing pictures of the dispair of urban children, young widows, and old men. From heartbroken houses of the young warriors of Vietnam to the violent summer smoke of the Klan, the varied work of this famed photo journalist will affect you like no other ever has.
"Visions" is not a traditional chronological documentary, but an expression of Parks' vision and the events that shaped that vision.
