Great work Matt

Dude, playing Static in the background is genius. Awesome video

Matt's book American Geography has fantastic images. High quality reproductions. Text is interesting and well worth pausing to read.

This movie feels like a bad, bad fever dream

BRILLIANT. GENIUS!! PLOT, SOUND DESIGN, EDIT, VO. LOVE IT!!

❤

👍❤️👍

Stunning story telling. Hard to watch … thanks so much for caring.

Inspirational work - moving and powerful. I’m wondering how in all fairness this only got 2900 views in a year? Great work as always - worthwhile and important.

This is probably the most hard hitting random algorithm pull I've ever had.

At least it's honestly labeled "a dream". Only bondage occurs when trying to make it a reality. It would be better to free from such slavery and be poor than to be wealthy and a slave to it. In light of that... what truly is the source of man's misery? Is it actually something outside or within? I've seen faces of the poor beaming with the brightest humanity and the wealthy with soulless eyes and weighted faces. None of them escapes their final breath and both return to the earth. Which do you think was truly wealthy? The rich have not bought their way out of death, despair or debauchery. In many cases they have loaded worry upon worry and have distanced themselves from their humanity with their many things. Who should you feel the most sorrow for? Everyone on Earth is in some type of bondage or servitude. Freedom isn't something another man can truly give you.

Magnificent. Just got the book! Beautiful work Matt.

Matt's book American Geography is incredible. So much told in each photo.

So Good

This is phenomeal stuff. For once the algorithm got it spoton

♥️ Phenomenal photo project! ♥️ This incredible film just enhances the experience!!! • On a less serious note, this puts Matt Black in the pantheon of American photographers who made America 🇺🇸 their subject: American s - Robert Frank American Photographs - Walker Evans American Power - Mitch Epstein American Prospects - Joel Sternfeld American Surfaces - Stephen Shore American Silence - Robert Adams American Night - Paul Graham American Mirror - Philip Montgomery American Geography - Matt Black American Index - Taryn Simon American Cloud - Kaj O’Connell And there are few Canadians in the mix 😊 American Mile - Kyle McDougall 🇨🇦 American Squares - Leah Frances 🇨🇦 American Dreams - Ian Brown 🇨🇦

Brilliant. Devastating. Beautiful. All at the same time. I'm also from the Central Valley now living in Scandinavia. I see my home community a bit differently now - probably with more love and appreciation because I know there's just so much hardship there too. Thank you.

Art. In motion.

I don't know how I got to this video. But what an experience. Haunting, necessary, strange, and yet so coherent. This is one of the most impressive photo essays I've had the luck to experience. Thank you.

amazing work

Nice Work!!

Beautiful, your book is a revelation to me !

love it

Matt is arguably the most authentic and dedicated social documentary photographer covering the issue of abject poverty, marginalisation and disaffection in a country that lost its way half a century ago.The American nightmare continues to expand relentlessly with both major parties culpable while aiding and giving succour to the obscene concentration of wealth among low tax paying elites and corporations. This entrenched and normalised corruption is America's shame. It's also time that politicians of all backgrounds give due credence to the best aspects of Scandinavian models for collective sovereign wealth, social cohesion and well-being. And no, that is not communism, it is pragmatic protection and affords decent quality of life for future generations.

Recently we used it as our main reference for making a short documentary at College, in Argentina. Thank you Matt for your amazing work

Congratulations!! Amazing work!! Thank you very much for sharing it

Amazing work Matt.

If there is any dialogue on this can the auto-English captions to switched on please?

Is there any dialogue with this? If so can the auto-English captions be switched on please? Thank you.

Thanks Matt, I've lived most of my life in California, Monterey, SF Bay Area, Rio Vista, El Sobrante, etc. but not so much in the Central Valley, different reality for sure.

I just discovered your work and I'm binging it.. thank you! I wish photography like this was popular on youtube rather than all the nothing we seem to get.

Thank you. This leaves me speechless for many reasons.

Matt thank you for this, as someone from Salinas who tries to view life through a lens, your work always hits home

Which lens are you using on that EM5ii? 🧐

I've bought the Magnum online training course, and I think it's amazing, but I would also like it if there were a long form version of this Unamerican Dream trailer. I find it to be very inspirational.

Matt, thanks for the inspiration.
