True Life Video Stories (DVD)
In the late 1970s Scott Jacobs, armed with new technology, set out to record images of America.
The equipment he used was one of the first video cameras, a black and white portapak, and he filmed the working lives of ordinary Americans who he would discover had fascinating stories. His segments appeared on AMERICA IN BLACK& WHITE, and this collection of Jacobs' work comprises the best of his pieces. Jacobs' nonfiction studies have a striking similarity to radio's THIS AMERICAN LIFE and the anecdotal writings of David Sedaris. These journalistic shorts study such diverse working Americans as a baker, a gambler, a politician, and a department store Santa.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Single Side - Dual Layer
