Has anybody watched anything by this guy? Famous for his lengthy documentaries, I just recently watched Welfare and it was incredible.

One of my favorite documentarians, if you have access to Kanopy almost all of his films are on there.

some of my favorites

yup that's where im watching it. truly a goldmine of a service

sadly he just announced his retirement but he had a 6 decade run so i’m not complaining lol

i mean he's 95 lmao so i get it

he got some good ones and some less than amazing ones

any favorites? or least favorites?

is there any info or interviews out there about his process. I saw somewhere that at least for the film Welfare, he spent like 4-6 weeks in the welfare office

real, thank you

Caught Welfare and Law and Order last year and can't recommend those enough. Crushing films to watch given how little conditions have improved in policing and public assistance. Law and Order feels so much like a prototype version of Cops it's insane.

RIP to the legend. In Jackson Heights is one of my favourite documentaries of all time

Joker 2 straight up rips from Titticut Follies

Didn't realize he died damn

RIP

Wait WHAT

96, lived a full life

Big RIP
