Wide ranging documentary centered around the life of this unique artist. Jeffrey Wolf explores the historical context of and through Traylor's life journey which paralleled some of the major historical events/movements of the 19th/20th century - born into slavery in 1853 on a cotton plantation in Alabama, a tenant farmer after emancipation, father to nine children, witness to Reconstruction, the Jim Crow era, and the Great Migration. He drew upon a lifetime of memories for over a 1,000 drawings. This documentary effectively and powerfully moves back-and-forth, and through, the individual in relation to the broader society, and the society's effect on individuals. -- MB
