Finding Vivian Maier

A nanny's secret passion for photography is revealed in this documentary, showcasing her stunning collection of 100,000 street photographs that earned her a posthumous reputation as a master of the craft.

A real estate agent's chance discovery of old negatives at a local auction house sets off a chain of events that transforms his life. Initially, he's impressed by the quality of the images, but soon realizes they're not relevant to his neighborhood history book project. However, the power of the images sparks a newfound passion for photography, leading him to set up a darkroom and dedicate himself to printing. As he learns more about photography, he becomes convinced that the negatives are the work of a master photographer and decides to share a selection of the images online to gauge their strength.
