Synopsis "Danny Lyon: This Is My Life I'm Talking about"
The life and times of the New Journalism exponent behind The Bikeriders and Conversations with the DeadThis picaresque memoir dives into the heart of the revolutionary 20th century through the lens of one of its most crucial witnesses, American photographer and filmmaker Danny Lyon. His story begins in the Czar-ruled Russia of 1905, when Lyon's uncle Abram fled to Brooklyn after his involvement in the murder of a policeman during a pogrom. A few decades later, amid the upheaval of World War II, Lyon was born.Presaged by this beginning, Lyon's life has overseen adventures and tragedies of world-historical proportions. This Is My Life I'm Talking About recounts them in generous detail, from Lyon's friendship with the great American civil rights hero John Lewis--who is best known for his chairmanship of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee--to his involvement with the Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club, upon which his famous photojournalist work The Bikeriders (1968) was based. Throughout, Lyon writes with tremendous feeling and humor, and his text is accompanied by a selection of unpublished and unseen photographs.An early exponent of New Journalism, Danny Lyon (born 1942) is one of the most influential documentary photographers of the last six decades. While still a student at the University of Chicago, he was jailed in the South and became the first staff photographer of the SNCC. He went on to publish the seminal photobooks The Bikeriders and Conversations with the Dead (1971), an interrogation of the Texas prison system. Later in life, he pivoted to filmmaking, partnering with Robert Frank.
