The Environmental Documentary provides the first extensive coverage
of the most important environmental films of the decade, including
their approach to their topics and their impacts on public opinion
and political debate. While documentaries with themes of
environmental activism date back at least to Pare Lorenz's films of
the 1930's, no previous decade has produced the number and quality
of films that engage environmental issues from an activist
viewpoint. The convergence of high profile issues like climate
change, fossil fuel depletion, animal abuse, and corporate
malfeasance has combined with the miniaturization of high quality
recording equipment and the expansion of documentary programming,
to produce an unprecedented number of important and influential
documentary productions. The text examines the processes of
production and distribution that have produced this explosion in
documentaries. The films range from a high-profile Hollywood
production with theatrical distribution like An Inconvenient Truth,
to shorter independently produced films like The End of Suburbia
that have reached a small audience of activists through video
distribution, interviews with many of the filmmakers, and word of
mouth.
