“Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project”
Website / Reviews
Marion Stokes was secretly recording American television 24 hours a day for thirty years. Her 70,000 VHS tapes, captured revolutions, lies, wars, triumphs, catastrophes, bloopers, talk shows and commercials that told us who we were, and show how television shaped the world of today. Her work was crazy but it was also genius, and she would pay a profound price for dedicating her life to this visionary and maddening project.
