As a writer, photographer and film editor, Mr. Rothacker has published and produced New York in the 1930s, written in conjunction with the gallery show of the same name, and produced many documentaries including America in Black & White and Many Colors, a documentary of discrimination and diversity in the United States, and Words of the Heart, the story of abolitionist Thomas Garrett and Garrett’s great-grand niece Dorothy Biddle James who both fought for human rights throughout their lives. His most recent documentary is a biography of the actor Jimmy Stewart, entitled Always Be Nice to People, commissioned by the James Stewart Foundation and narrated by Stewart’s daughter Kelly.
