Phil Bertelsen & Lise Yasui discuss their new doc, The Picture Taker

THE PICTURE TAKER is a tale from in front of, and behind the camera. Ernest Withers lived a complicated and extraordinary life, magnified by a legacy of developing nearly two million images that came to define the American civil rights movement. A photo-journalist, soldier, police officer, and civil rights activist in his lifetime, The Picture Taker illuminates Withers lesser-known work as a secret FBI informant, a double-life uncovered only after his death.
