Wonderful portrait of the late great photographer Corky Lee. Lee was a native New Yorker who made a career of photographing the Asian experience in America and New York. Lee's aim was to "take the pictures that should be in out history books".
He was everywhere in New York covering events no one else did and in ways that no one else could. Because he was everywhere and people knew him Lee managed to get shots that changed lives. As recounted in the film his photos changed the accounts if the police who couldn't lie about what there was photographic evidence for.,
This is magnificent film. Its a wonderful look at a man and his work and beautiful explanation of why Lee matters.
Highly recommended.
