Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project is the story of an eccentric African American woman who videotaped everything on the air from 1977 until 2012. The film starts with a statement by Marion Stokes’ British chauffeur. Almost zero explanation of how she came to have a chauffeur, or of her real background. The story is told from the points of view of the chauffeur (who, like Ms. Stokes was adopted as a child), Ms. Stokes’ nurse (who was in foster care as a child), and Ms. Stokes’ estranged son. Interesting story that leaves a lot of gaps and questions.
