February is traditionally Black History Month, and on the last day of the month Apple dropped an inspiring video in its “Shot on iPhone” series to mark the occasion. That’s not to say that Apple waited for the last possible minute to launch a Black History Month tribute, as it announced the “Hometown” video collaboration on February 1.
Well, fast forward to the last day of February, and now the fine result of this labor can be seen in the video above with Apple detailing how it got the footage: “In honor of Black History Month, 32 of the country’s most visionary Black photographers show us their hometowns. Phillip Youmans, the youngest ever director to win at the Tribeca Film Festival, follows a number of our image-makers as they each celebrate the Black experience, Black excellence, love, and imagination.” Check it out, it’s pretty well made, with the iPhone’s unsurpassed video recording prowess as a side show.
