THE HIGHWAYMEN: FLORIDA'S OUTSIDER ARTISTS tells the tale of a group of young, African-American, self-taught landscape artists from central Florida during the late 1950's and early 1960's. In a time of segregation throughout the south, the men traveled the region selling their detailed paintings from the trunk of their cars. Today, the paintings which were originally sold as 'junk art' are virtually priceless. Narrated by noted journalist Spencer Christian. [More]
