Cover of Michael Chanan: Politics of Documentary (ePUB)

This wide-ranging study traces the history of the documentary from the first Lumiere films to Michael Moore”s ”Fahrenheit 9/11”. Chanan argues that documentary makes a vital contribution to the public sphere – where ideas are debated, opinion formed and those in authority are held to account.
