STANLEY NELSON: Documenting History
Long ago as a film major at City College of New York in the 1970’s, Stanley Nelson found his passion. We are fortunate that he did. For almost 40 years, his films have told the story of the African American experience. Be it Attica or Emmett Till, the Freedom Riders or the Black Panthers, his films speak with an eloquent voice and a captivating camera.
His production company Firelight Media has four new films on the agenda, because there is always more history to be told.
