Family Matters
An affectionate look at family life as seen through the lens of amateur film makers.
Director John Walters once said, "There's no such thing as a bad home movie. These mini-underground opuses are revealing, scary, joyous, always flawed, filled with accidental art, and shout out from attics and closets all over the world to be seen again." This episode focuses on home movie collections. Many of these films are intimate portraits which give contemporary audiences a fascinating view into the past, allowing them to connect with a history in a way different from any other.
