Rebel Citizen plot

Haskell Wexler passed away in December 2015 at the age of 93, named one of the ten most influential cameramen in film history by colleagues in 2003. In this portrait by his colleague friend Pamela Yates, Wexler's contribution to cinematography is only discussed indirectly; about his first Oscar for “Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf” (1966) he speaks in terms of the visibility it brought him. This recognition helped him realize his own feature film and documentary projects, which testify to his affinity with the civil rights struggle and the anti-war movement. Wexler is equally inspired and committed in this last long interview, punctuated with film fragments, in which he looks back on a broad oeuvre with critical protest as a permanent value.
