an entertaining, educational, aesthetic triumph, truly soulful story about people

If you love photography, you must watch this film. The quality of the photographs is enormous. To hear the photographers speak of their making of these images under the direction of great teachers associated with the Photo League is even more enriching. The views of New York in this documentary style is a soul shaking reminder of how far America has come and how much further it needs to go. The sadness of this film is the anti-communist witch hunt of the early fifties that shattered the group. Even if you are not a photographer, or even interested in documentary photography and social justice, you will find that this a great film about people, their youth, their energy and spirit, and how many of them found true soulful focus from their work with The Photo League.
