I hope that will be on Netflix soon! I've heard of Elsa Dorfman because she took the cover photo for the most enjoyable computer book I ever read, Philip & Alex's Guide to Web Publishing, by Philip Greenspun. Greenspun is a good photographer himself, with many examples in his book, and he created the venerable photo.net website (and much of the software framework it ran on) in 1993, providing a template for photography websites that has been adapted in large part by foreverfilm.org and most other photography communities on the World Wide Web. Greenspun's commission of his cover photo to Elsa Dorfman let me know 20 years ago that she was literally a photographer's photographer.
