This daring yet meticulously argued book creates a new map of documentary ecologies in the 21st century as it travels through a dizzying array of technologies, locations, formats, practices, experiences, and politics. These new, field-defying works push aside 'flattie' feature film analog documentaries. This remarkable, eye-opening, methodology-shifting book unfolds as both expanding and expansive. It insists that these new documentary ecologies demand new thinking,
new theories, new analysis, and an much more capacious and unrestrained cartography.
