Through Dorothea’s Lens

In this episode, we step into the world of Dorothea Lange — the woman whose camera didn’t just capture images, but exposed the soul of a nation in crisis. Her photographs of the Great Depression, migrant workers, and forgotten families didn’t just document history; they shaped it. We explore the story behind her most iconic work, the grit that drove her into the heart of America’s hardest moments, and the way her lens revealed truths many preferred to ignore. This episode uncovers the courage, empathy, and relentless pursuit of humanity that made Lange one of the most influential visual storytellers of all time. Through her eyes, we see not just suffering, but resilience — and the power of one person’s vision to change how the world sees itself.
