Staff Picks: The Films of Frederick Wiseman

Floor staff member Erica Hill is here with our latest Coolidge Staff Pick, highlighting the entire filmography of master documentarian Frederick Wiseman.

"Right now we're donating to the organizations that we love, and we're exploring their digital collections or other virtual content, and these films really go behind the scenes of how all that happens, and they will give us a better appreciation for these institutions until we can visit them again." All of Wiseman's films are available with a library card streaming free on Kanopy.
