The Social Documentary in Latin America

Pitt Latin American Studies

by Julianne Burton-Carvajal (Editor)

Twenty essays by major filmmakers and critics provide the first survey of the evolution of documentary film in Latin America. While acknowledging the political and historical weight of the documentary, the contributors are also concerned with the aesthetic dimensions of the medium and how Latin American practitioners have defined the boundaries of the form.
