Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project
“30 years of television. 24 hours a day. 70,000 tapes”
2019•NR•1h 27m•6.5•Released
Documentary
Marion Stokes secretly recorded television 24 hours a day for 30 years from 1975 until her death in 2012. For Marion taping was a form of activism to seek the truth, and she believed that a comprehensive archive of the media would be invaluable for future generations. Her visionary and maddening project nearly tore her family apart, but now her 70,000 VHS tapes are being digitized and they'll be searchable online.
