Preferred term

Workers' Film and Photo League  

Definition

  • The Workers' Film and Photo League (WFPL) emerged in the early 1930s as an alliance of local groups in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Building on earlier independent media models, their efforts during the early years of the Great Depression helped to define social documentary film and photography as a genre, while advancing independent media practices that survived long after.
