Noted as a leading light of Harlem Renaissance literature, and for having appreciation for her cultural contributions ripen well after her passing in 1960, this "American Experience" offering focuses on Zora Neale Hurston as enthnologist and anthropologist-ingratiating herself in African-American communities of the South during the '20s and '30s, observing and recording their existence and folklore, and challenging the then-prevalent standard of researching from distance. 112 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
