From a boom in theatrical features to footage posted on websites such as YouTube and Google Video, the early years of the 21st century have witnessed significant changes in the technological, commercial, aesthetic, political, and social dimensions of documentaries on film, television and the web.
In response to these rapid developments, this book rethinks the notion of documentary, in terms of theory, practice and object/s of study.
