documentary
Outstanding examination of a unique, gifted and ultimately unknowable woman. She spent her life working as a nanny. collecting stuff and taking photographs...brilliant street shots which get in close and capture the human essence of her subjects.
Her work gave her a place to live and the freedom to get outside, into the streets of Chicago where the action was and record it. None of her work was shown in her lifetime...it was unclear why. She was very private but not reclusive. Friends said she was a good conversationalist...at times she would go around with a tape recorder asking people their opinions on current affairs.
Above all were her photos...which were superb. Fascinating story, well told.
