Turn Your Eyes On The Prize
Documentary of the Week | Feb 12, 2016
Visionary filmmaker Henry Hampton spent 10 years raising the money and building the crew to create the 14-hour history of civil rights Eyes on the Prize. After his death in 1998, the series fell out of circulation due to the costs of re-licensing its impressive array of archival footage and music. Now it's finally back, on public television's World Channel, in time for Black History Month. It's an essential text of American history.
