In a dazzling testament to her twenty years of award-winning teaching experience, Walker privileges her students' voices, and in so doing offers astonishing explorations of cinema's real-world value - specifically, why the medium matters in relation both to one's most personal concerns and to our society's most pressing problems. At once compassionate and incisive, Life 24x a Second is a defibrillator to the heart. * Katherine Spring, Wilfrid Laurier University * Author InformationElsie Walker is Professor of Cinema Studies at Salisbury University.
