Contributions from leading international scholars address the history and nature of documentary, debates about truth and ethics, and documentary cinema in different national contexts and genres.“The Documentary Film Book increases awareness about a highly undermined form and offers great knowledge on the subjectIt is a large book filled with many scholarly insights, so it should not be rushed through. It’s a fascinating exhibition of thought and I would recommend it to anyone who holds a strong passion or interest in documentary cinema.” (Karsu Nalbantoglu, Film Matters, Vol. 7 (2), 2016)
