F11 and Be There is a 2018 documentary film by Jethro Waters about Magnum Photos and Life Magazine photographer Burk Uzzle. Produced, directed, filmed, and edited by Waters, F11 and Be There explores civil rights, race, social justice, and art through Uzzle's 65+ year legacy, as well as his continuing work focusing on African Americans in the South. Uzzle is well known for his photographs of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, the funeral of Martin Luther King Jr., as well as his iconic picture of Woodstock which later became the cover of the official Woodstock album. The original score for the film was composed and performed by Natalie Prass and Eric Slick, with animations by Cable Hardin.
