- Summary:
- "A genre as unique as the people who bring it to life, documentary challenges perceptions and inspires critical reflection on our world. But do documentaries represent the "truth"?

With emotionally charged insight and clips from essential works of the genre, this is a lively and panoramic view of contemporary cinema unlike any other."--Container.
