Summary

Charlie Siskel and John Maloof's documentary Finding Vivian Maier examines the life of a career nanny who was a prolific photographer in her spare time. She specialized in capturing urban streets scenes in Chicago and New York, and after her death was recognized as one of the most talented photographers of her time. The filmmakers show how her work was discovered, and grew in esteem. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi
