Description

The first edition of New Challenges for Documentary provided a
major stimulus for teaching about documentary film and television and
fresh encouragement for critical thinking about practice. This second
edition brings together many new contributions, both from academics and
filmmakers, reflecting shifts both in documentary production itself,
and in ways of discussing it.
