Negative Positive
Title: Outstanding
Review: This is far and away the very best documentary of what life was life for working-class immigrants in America in the early twentieth century. Although many photographers from this time period get lumped in with the muckraking jouralists, Hine was different. He was genuinely interested in the wellbeing of this exploited class of people and cared more for their trust than he did in getting the so-called "scoop." His photography reflects this, and his legacy is well represented in his students, many of whom went on to photograph the Great Depression (a topic this film also touches upon).This is a film that every student of American history should see.
