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.
