A Stone, a Plant, a Star

on BBC Radio 4 FM

A photographic journey adapted by ELIZABETH
TROOP from Let Us Now Praise Famous Men by JAMES AGEE with Stuart Milligan as James Agee and Peter Marinker as Walker Evans
In 1936 James Agee , journalist, and Walker Evans , photographer, were sent to investigate the plight of the poor white tenant farmers in the south of the USA.
They found a way of life that was remote and tragic. They lived with three sharecropper families for one month and combined words and photographs in a record that was eloquent, original and devastating. Agee's deep feeling for the land and its people emerges in a unique style of bitterness and passionate sympathy. With BLAIN FAIRHAN.
HAL GALILI , KATE HARPER , BONNIE HURREN , PAULINE LETTS.
MARGARET ROBERTSON , KERRY SHALE, PATIENCE TOMLINSON Directed by JOHN THEOCHARIS
