Aggie
Emmy-nominated director Catherine Gund turns the lens on her own mother, art collector and philanthropist Agnes "Aggie" Gund. Through her dogged support of emerging artists - especially women and people of color - Aggie demonstrates the potential for collectors and benefactors to seek social justice, while also advocating vociferously for everyone to have access to the arts regardless of background. Inspiring and intimate, this portrait of a vanguard figure is not to be missed.
