Ordinary Miracles: The Photo League’s New York is a feature-length documentary film which tells the story of the rise and politically motivated fall of the Photo League, (1936–1951) which for fifteen years served as the center of the documentary movement in American photography.

I saw an excerpt of this film at the recent Photo League exhibition at the Jewish Museum and it was very interesting. Mary Engel, who lives in Park Slope, was a contributing producer on the film. She is the daughter of Ruth Orkin and Morris Engel, renowned photographers and filmmakers.

The film will be at the Quad Cinema in Greenwich Village from June 22-28.
