Only a few years after the 2013 Sundance Film Festival premiere of
Blackfish - an independent documentary film that critiqued the
treatment of orcas in captivity - visits to SeaWorld declined,
major corporate sponsors pulled their support, and performing acts
canceled appearances. The steady drumbeat of public criticism,
negative media coverage, and unrelenting activism became known as
the "Blackfish Effect." In 2016, SeaWorld announced a stunning
corporate policy change - the end of its profitable orca shows. In
an evolving networked era, social-issue documentaries like
Blackfish are art for civic imagination and social critique.
Today's documentaries interrogate topics like sexual assault in the
U.S. military (The Invisible War), racial injustice (13th),
government surveillance (Citizenfour), and more. Artistic
nonfiction films are changing public conversations, influencing
media agendas, mobilizing communities, and capturing the attention
of policymakers - accessed by expanding audiences in a transforming
media marketplace. In Story Movements: How Documentaries Empower
People and Inspire Social Change, producer and scholar Caty Borum
Chattoo explores how documentaries disrupt dominant cultural
narratives through complex, creative, often investigative
storytelling. Featuring original interviews with award-winning
documentary filmmakers and field leaders, the book reveals the
influence and motivations behind the vibrant, eye-opening stories
of the contemporary documentary age.
