Coming up during the civil rights movement of the late 1960’s and 70’s New York they recognized the documentary film form as a medium that amplified their own voices and talents in telling the story of African Americans. Though their paths crossed on several New York- based projects, it was the Peabody and multi-Emmy award winning, Eyes on the Prize Parts 1 and 2, the landmark 14-part documentary series, telling the story of the American civil rights movement from 1952 to 1985 that was the most pivotal experience.
