Movie Info

Enlightening and empathetic, the film tackles questions of race and class through compelling first-person stories, drawing on the accounts of well-known figures like Rep. John Lewis, NAACP Legal Defense Fund president Sherrilyn Ifill and activist Bree Newsome, as well as everyday people struggling in a broken system. Culled from hours of interviews conducted by Smith with more than 250 people across the country, NOTES FROM THE FIELD showcases her extraordinary gift for transforming herself into diverse characters as she recreates each person's speech patterns, movements and emotions.

Gut-wrenching, raw but dignified, and like nothing else I've seen, Anna Deavere Smith's Notes From The Field is a gift. Transporting, redemptive, and crushing.
