I just love this beautiful documentary.

Cooper's presence makes this 82 minutes of pure joy, a celebration of an artist who became a key part of the culture she captured.

A conventional biographical portrait almost feels redundant. Cooper has already documented her own life story.

Further enhancing the many joys of this diverting documentary: Martha Cooper just happens to be a wonderful, open-minded, big-hearted human being. Long may she click away.
