The first documentary to explore the role of photography in shaping the identity, aspirations, and social emergence of African Americans, Through a Lens Darkly probes American history by discovering images that have been suppressed, forgotten, and lost. Featuring the works of Carrie Mae Weems, Lorna Simpson, Anthony Barboza, Hank Willis Thomas, and many others, the film introduces the viewer to a diverse community of storytellers who transform singular experiences into a communal journey of discovery — and a call to action.
