This is a really fascinating documentary... The movie gets into these definitions of what is the difference between calling someone a hoarder or a collector?

A character study of a fascinating news-junkie with a mission.

Stokes remains something of an enigma, but watching Recorder, one thing becomes clear: We can learn a lot from the ability to rewind.

Hyperallergic
3.5 stars out of 4 -- [A] compelling look at one very specific eccentric woman, who lived in the era when news went from local to national, from one time-slot to all day long, and who sensed in this shift something alarming, something new, and who responded by trying to capture all of it, catalog and save.

[A]s we get to know Marion Stokes, her motivation for doing what she did comes to seem more and more resonant and fascinating and less and less of a private compulsive geek-out. And those tapes acquire a lost-world mystique.

Press play and be amazed.

Hammer to Nail
Rating: 2.5/4 --
The camera doesn't love Stokes, but it certainly respects her. The intensity of her presence is unmistakable. That intensity is attested to, not always favorably, by the various people we hear from in "Recorder."

Product Description:
Director Matt Wolf's documentary spotlights activist archivist Marion Stokes' life's work: a comprehensive collection of television news broadcasts from 1979 to 2012. It showcases her unusual life as a former librarian, an African-American Communist radical, an eccentric wife, mother, and employer, and the historical and cultural significance of the 70,000 VHS tapes of television footage that she left behind (which is now managed by the Internet Archive in San Francisco).
