Since 1970, Eddie Becker has used his skills as an investigative archivist and documentarian to uncover hidden histories and support a wide range of research efforts. He has spent decades combing through government archives, libraries, and other repositories for primary documents that have informed documentary filmmakers, historians, and investigations into U.S. diplomatic and military policy. His work has also contributed to the preservation of federal and presidential email records, including the White House email case. As one of the early adopters of portable video technology in the 1970s, Becker documented social movements, protests, democracy movements, and environmental activism around the world. His footage often captures voices from the front lines of activism.
