On the 51st anniversary of the asssassination of JFK, the Ridgefield Playhouse Film Society "Documentary Film Series" presents filmmaker Chris Szwedo's award-winning documentary, "Eye On The 60s: The Iconic Photography of Rowland Scherman."

A fascinating recollection of a remarkable era in American History -- the 1960s, seen through the work of noted LIFE photographer Rowland Scherman. Learn of key moments and people from someone on the inside -- JFK, The Peace Corps, The March On Washington, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, LBJ, RFK, and Woodstock. It's all here -- an organic trip through the past, as well as an essay on technological change, and the passage of time. If you're a boomer or not, this is your film, a documentary not to be missed!

He has traveled extensively and produced films on multiple subjects.
