The
20 minute documentary,
Thornton Dial, examines
the extraordinary life and work of this 77-year-old contemporary
artist from Bessemer, Alabama. Born
in Emelle — in the heart of the Black Belt—Dial
is a former migrant farmer and steel worker who neither reads nor
writes, and has never formally trained as an artist. Yet art
critics call him genius.
