Haskell Wexler : à l'oeuvre

HASKELL WEXLER: AT WORK
All by himself, Haskell Wexler (born in 1922) offers us the whole orb of cinema. A well-known cinematographer, he has been awarded several Oscars. At the same time, he has produced, made and directed the photography for anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, anti-racist documentaries and fiction films that document the energy and courage of the peoples of the United States, Central America, South America and Vietnam.
