An Investigative Cinema

More about the book

Investigative cinema focuses on reconstructing real events and political crises, emphasizing the complexities that lie beneath the surface. This genre challenges the notion of "truth" as presented by institutions and media, fostering a narrative that often leaves viewers with more questions than answers. The book explores this cinematic form within various historical contexts, including Italy's economic miracle, France's cultural shifts during decolonization, and the impact of globalization in Latin America, as well as the socio-political climate in the US post-Watergate and post-9/11.
