Finding Vivian Maier

"Finding Vivian Maier" is actually quite a remarkable documentary about a completely unknown photographer who was, sadly enough, overlooked in her lifetime.

It was only by a stroke of sheer luck that John Maloof (this documentary's co-writer/co-producer) came across this surprise discovery of negatives amongst Vivian's possessions, which he had purchased at an auction (of her abandoned personal property) in 2007.

Vivian (who worked as a nanny for various families for nearly 40 years) apparently never showed her photographic work to anybody. But thanks to Maloof's uncovering of Vivian's personal possessions, it is now realized that her photographic-eye was truly exceptional.

This is definitely one documentary that is really worth seeing.
