MADL Movie Night: The Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project

By 1980, the year Ted Turner launched CNN, Marion Stokes noticed something: news was transforming, becoming more than the dissemination of information.  It reached millions of viewers all day, every day. She started recording what was being broadcast - anything and everything, 24 hours a day until she died 33 years later. Stokes’ 70,000 video archive is the only existing record of what was said and who said it. She was an information revolutionary preserving what was created to be forgotten and along the way, leaving a record of how we got to where are.  Join us at LVPD for a full screening of the documentary Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project.

On Feb 13th at 6 PM at MCC's Overbrook Theater, MADL will be co-hosting a short screening of the parts of the film, followed by a panel discussion featuring media experts Dave Alexander and Jon Covington.
