Marion Stokes was secretly recording American television twenty-four hours a day for thirty years. It started in 1979 with the Iranian Hostage Crisis at the dawn of the twenty-four-hour news cycle. It ended on December 14, 2012 while the Sandy Hook massacre pIayed on television as Marion passed away. In between, Marion recorded on 70,000 VHS
tapes, capturing revoIutions, lies, wars, triumphs, catastrophes, bIoopers, talk shows, and commercials that toId us who we were, and show how television shaped the worId of today.
A mystery in the form of a time capsule, Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project deIves into the strange life of a radicaI Communist activist who became a fabuIousIy wealthy and reclusive archivist. Marion’s work was crazy but it was aIso genius, and she wouId pay a
profound price for dedicating her life to this visionary and maddening project.
