David Sutherland
“No one makes documentaries the way David Sutherland does. And perhaps no one ever will; the toll is too great.”
David Zurawik, The Baltimore Sun
For forty years David Sutherland has made long-form documentary portraits — The Farmer’s Wife, Country Boys, Kind Hearted Woman, Marcos Doesn’t Live Here Anymore — filmed over years, without narration, so close you hear his subjects breathe. His films have earned over 100 international awards and citations.
