Description

The fourth edition of Bill Nichols's best-selling text provides new critical material on reenactments, encounter, and testimony or bearing witness. Introduction to Documentary is designed for students in any field that makes use of visual evidence and persuasive strategies. It identifies the genre's distinguishing qualities and teaches the viewer how to read documentary film. Each chapter takes up a discrete question, from "How Did Documentary Filmmaking Get Started?" to "How Have Documentaries Responded to Identity Politics and Social Issues?" Here Nichols, with Jaimie Baron, has edited each chapter for clarity and ease of use and expanded the book with updates and new ideas.
