About this episode

How did one woman take pictures so powerful that they were both celebrated and banned? How did a worker with unprecedented access create a living visual library that showed our country’s desperate injustice? And what can we learn from Dorothea Lange and her photos of migrants in the 1930s, and incarcerated Japanese-Americans in the 1940s, about making art as resistance?
