Summary

The legendary French filmmaker Agnes Varda, whose remarkable career began in the 1950s and has continued into the twenty-first century, produced some of her most provocative works while living on the West Coast of the United States. This disc includes two short documentaries: Uncle Yanco, in which Varda tracks down a Greek emigrant relative she's never met; and Black Panthers, in which Varda turns her camera on an Oakland demonstration against the imprisonment of activist and Black Panthers cofounder Huey P. Newton.
