Documentary, Performance and Risk explores how some of the most
significant recent American feature documentaries use performance
to dramatically animate major categories of risk. The fact that
these documentaries do rely on such performance is revealing both
in terms of trends in American feature documentary, and in relation
to the currency of ideas about risk in contemporary Western
societies. The book takes a detailed look at the performance of
risk and demonstrates the rewards of close critical attention to
formal composition and performance. Covering An Inconvenient Truth,
Super Size Me, Capitalism: A Love Story and Jackass: The Movie, it
explores how these high-profile films offer up compelling
narratives and images of individuals 'acting on risk'. The films
seek to both confront and control the contours of their
environments in ways that reveal much about how a particular set of
beliefs about risk and the individual have come to inform our
lives. This wide-ranging analysis of feature documentary is ideal
for scholars and postgraduate students studying documentary film,
film and media studies.
