Steering clear of the academic, theoretical approach that dominates most writing about documentary, the editors have selected pieces for their clarity, originality and capacity to inspire. Underlying the entire collection is the passionate belief that documentary can be as diverse and imaginatively rich as non-fiction writing -- by turns polemic, personal, journalistic, emotive and politic." -- from the rear panel blurb.
