Producing Eyes on the Prize was more than a labor of love. For Executive Producer Henry Hampton, it was an ambition he harbored for more than half his life, one that led him to sacrifice money, opportunity, and his own material welfare to realize.

In 1968, Henry Hampton established Blackside, Inc., a film production company that aimed to increase Black representation both onscreen and behind the camera.

"It was like going to grad schoo...

According to Else, this was by design; Hampton wanted each team’s work to reflect its member’s divergent viewpoints, rooted in their different experiences. The "Blackside method"...
Reflecting on the initial reception of Eyes on the Prize: America’s Civil Rights Years, Callie Crossley recalled, "We started doing some small screenings around Boston. I thought people would like it, but I wasn’t prepared. And then it just started building from there. I realized, "Oh, this is going to be something!"27 Eyes on the Prize profoundly ...
