Published review:
"This is a must-have insight
into modern documentary; the principles that govern it and the conventions it often breaks. It deserves a place on the shelves of film
commissioners, film students and documentary consumers as prominent as the place these documentary filmmakers have carved for themselves
on our screens." - www.shootingpeople.org

Students on television/film courses, documentary makers and those working in factual television. Anyone with an interest in contemporary television documentary.
