Outsiders and Visionaries: 8 Documentaries by Matt Wolf

Through revelatory use of archival footage, documentarian Matt Wolf sheds light on the nearly forgotten stories of visionary outsiders and queer heroes whose ahead-of-their-time contributions to culture have only begun to be fully appreciated. Whether going behind the music of avant-pop genius Arthur Russell ( Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell ), unraveling the enigma of pioneering media archivist-activist Marion Stokes ( Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project ), or telling the unique gay love story of history-shaking civil rights leader Bayard Rustin ( Bayard & Me ), Wolf brings his subjects to vivid, compelling life.
