In this portrait of Haskell Wexler by friend, colleague, and collaborator Pamela Yates, powerful images unspool alongside an extended interview with the late director and cinematographer—the deep connection between Yates and her mentor shines throughout their candid conversation. Wexler touches on his experience shooting narrative features, including his Academy Award–winning cinematography for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Bound for Glory, but the main focus is on his groundbreaking documentaries, like The Bus, where he documented civil rights activists on their way to the 1963 March on Washington, and the radical hybrid film Medium Cool, where actors are set against the backdrop of a police riot outside the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Looking back, Wexler remembers the circumstances surrounding particular shots—the people he met, the pressures he navigated, with camera in hand. These recollections combine with passionate discussions of his political beliefs to underscore the many ways that cinema allowed him to act as a citizen of the world.  ST
