This fascinating book from veteran film journalist Ian Haydn Smith,
with a foreword from award-winning director Asif Kapadia, explores
100 of the most compelling documentaries, each with the power to
radically change our perceptions and challenge the way we see the
world. Every so often a documentary comes along with the power to
change the way you think, to share alternative perspectives, to
make you furious about injustice or warm your heart. Contained in
this book are documentaries that fulfil these criteria and astound
viewers around the world; real-life stories to stop you in your
tracks, bring tears to your eyes and put your heart in your mouth.
From Barbara Kopple's Oscar-winning gritty depiction of working
class America in Harlan County, USA to James Marsh's breathtaking
Man on Wire, from powerful sporting tales such as Touching the Void
to stories of true crimes and their repercussions such as Making a
Murderer, this book delves deep into how these films were made,
what makes them great, and also what other films you might like if
you loved these ones. From Oscar winners to unseen gems from the
Netflix vaults, international filmmakers to true crime, sport and
culture stories, every documentary featured will make you
think,make you feel and make you tell people, "You NEED to see this
film." Veteran film journalist Ian Haydn Smith writes with passion
and knowledge about these masterpieces, and illustrations bring
these films off the page. A foreword from BAFTA and Grammy-winning
director Asif Kapadia helps situate this book as one of the
invaluable works on cinema today.
