Shooting the Truth : The Rise of American Political Documentaries
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Political documentaries are more popular now than ever-- Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004), the top-grossing documentary film of all time, is one of many such recent films. In this incisive book, James McEnteer parses the politics of nonfiction films of recent decades, which together constitute an alternative history to many official stories offered by the government and its media minions.
