When Haskell Wexler died last December, he was justly remembered for his cinematography on such films as Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and his transformational Medium Cool, a fiction feature set and shot amid the protests surrounding the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. But there was another Haskell Wexler: the outspoken citizen and maker of committed documentaries. Wexler went on a journey with Civil Rights demonstrators in 1963, was in Vietnam with Jane Fonda, traveled to Brazil to report on torture, and filmed in Nicaragua to document a covert war. Pamela Yates knew that this Haskell Wexler could command the screen with his soft-spoken, analytical presence as his films rolled silently behind him. Rebel Citizen spotlights the man who thoughtfully chronicled two generations. You'll want to listen up, because sometimes you need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.-Judy Bloch
