Capitalism: Slavery Trailers

In Capitalism: Slavery, Jacobs uses a Victorian stereograph (a double-photograph) of slaves picking cotton under the watchful eye of a white overseer as the source for this wrenching silent work. Through digital manipulation, Jacobs creates a haunting illusion of depth and movement. It is as if he has "entered" the image and reactivated this historical moment; he moves among the figures and isolates individuals, creating a stuttering, pulsing effect that suggests motion even as it animates stasis.

Reviews
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
