Introduction to Documentary by Bill Nichols
Presents an overview of topics and issues in documentary history and criticism. This book offers suggestive answers to basic issues that have stood at the center of all debate on documentary from since its very beginnings.
"Bill Nichols' succinct Introduction to Documentary would make an ideal textbook, and that's no backhanded complimentPatiently, almost tenderly, the author leads the reader step by step through the thicket of moral, political, aesthetic and technological issues documentary film raises - writing in a clean style that doesn't simplify ideas so much as distil them." - SIGHT AND SOUND, August 2002
