Marilyn Coleman's North Philadelphia
Marilyn Coleman's North Philadelphia was not only unique because of its subject matter. Made at the tail end of television's black and white era when film still dominated documentaries, the program was shot as they are today, entirely on video. In 1967 this was not easy to do because it required lugging around a full sized truck and trailer mobile unit. When parked at the North Philadelphia locations, labor intensive camera cables had to be strung from the production truck to sites sometimes blocks away. —Clark Santee
