0During the two World Wars and the Depression era, residents in the small mountain town of Heber Springs, Arkansas would go to portrait photographer Mike Disfarmer if they wanted their picture taken. Years later, these simple but striking images would be hailed as a work of artistic genius that captured the lives and emotions of rural America in difficult times. His subjects wanted a memento. Heber Springs residents, artists, collectors and critics discuss the life and work of Mike Disfarmer, and through their stories, reveal how a photographic image has the power to transcend the subject matter. World Premiere airs Wednesday May 25, 2011 at 9pm ET.
