Watch Ordinary Miracles: The Photo League's New York Movie Online No Survey Ordinary Miracles is the story of the Photo League (1936-1951), which for fifteen years was the center of the documentary movement in American photography at a time when the camera was held to be, in James Agee's words, "the central instrument of our time." Featuring little-known examples of the work of fifty of the Photo League's leading photographers and supplemented with interviews with still feisty (and active) League veterans, the film features a captivating, period musical score and an incisive narration read by Campbell Scott. Ordinary Miracles is a tribute to the high purpose of photography, a remarkable group and an unmatched panorama of urban life in the neighborhoods of New York City during the 1930's and 40's. -- (C) Official Site Release Date Ordinary Miracles: The Photo League's New York Jun 22, 2012 Limited | |
