Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television
"Broad-ranging ... This book is undoubtedly recommended as an
undergraduate textbooked, evidenced by its lucid exposition and
easily accessible and clearly presented case studies; however, it
nonetheless offers a useful account and summary of the key debates
that surround and inform the terrain of the contemporary
documentary."
Times Higher Education
"Jane Chapman's book offers students a clear introduction to
some of the main questions and debates surrounding current
documentary practice. Not only is the whole book developed around
selected examples, it is informed throughout by the ethical,
creative, and technological challenges of actually making films and
programmes. Its strongly 'insider' viewpoint usefully complements
the 'outsider' framings of most film and television studies."
John Corner, University of Liverpool
"In a clear, comprehensive style, Jane Chapman has vividly laid
out the key issues in documentary. With attention to historical
trends and theoretical debates this book will be of enormous use to
scholars and practitioners of documentary. This book should find a
wide audience among students and viewers of documentary."
Paula Rabinowitz, University of Minnesota
