Review :
'As we go into the 21st Century the documentary not only will be a form of telling us what has happened in the past, but will interpret the reality of events in the future.' David Wolper '..A far-reaching yet comprehensive consideration of the issues confronting non-fiction imagemaking, from people who have been there, are there now and are grating up for what the future will bring. A very valuable collection of perspectives.' Timothy J. Lyons, Editor, International Documentary
