More Than Words

More Than Words: The Photography of Newsman Bob Paley Bob Paley, a photojournalist with Albany's Knickerbocker News, was described as a poet with a camera. Often with a single photo, Paley captured the mood, the moment and the meaning of the forces that rocked mid-twentieth century America. He could see that one image in a complex series of events that conveyed more than words. More Than Words tells the story of how a small city in upstate New York coped with the powerful forces that were unleashed as America came of age in the years following World War II. The film is truly a newspaper story; a tribute to the tireless crusaders of America's fact-based media. The feature-length documentary draws heavily from the photo library of photojournalist Bob Paley whose images energized people and sparked social change. The stories of those who lived during that turbulent period are documented through the personal testimony and photographs of those who tried to tell the story of those times.
