This work looks at the functions of documentary in film and
television. Its attempts to depict reality and to comment on it
have provoked disagreement from the 1920s to the present day.
Recent debates about knowledge and representation, and about the
changing character of public culture have increased its interest
and relevance. The author presents a clear view of the theoretical
issues and critical debates about documentary, and discusses the
development of the main styles and approaches, including dramadocs
and fly-on-the-wall. The book also looks at the dual identity of
work in documentary as both artefact and as a reference. This work
provides an analysis of specific examples of powerful documentary
films and programmes such as: Cathy Come Home (whose presentation
of homelessness and young women had enormous impact); Life and
Times of Rosie the Rivetter (depicting the treatment of women in US
factories during World War II); and When the Dog Bites (a view of
life in the previously industrial town of Consett following the
closure of the steel works).
