An Investigative Cinema

More about the book

Focusing on the evolution of investigative cinema, the book explores how these films reconstruct real events, political crises, and conspiracies while challenging the superficial narratives presented by traditional media. It delves into the complexities of truth and documentation, emphasizing the ambiguities that arise from unanswered questions. The narrative connects investigative cinema to significant historical contexts, including Italy's economic miracle, France's cultural shifts during decolonization, and the impacts of globalization in Latin America, alongside the post-Watergate and post-9/11 climate in the US.
