'New challenges for documentary' provides a major stimulus for teaching about documentary film and television and a fresh encouragement for critical thinking about practive. This second edition brings together many new contributions both from academics and film-makers.
Although this is not the single best book on documentary film, it is arguably the best collection of essays gathered on the subject. A wide range of viewpoints are represented, and the organization is logical and easily understood. This was a text in a documentary production course I took as a graduate student, and now that I will be teaching such a course, I plan to use it as well.
Still relevant for today's documentarist.
