      Offers an compendium on the roots and history of the documentary film. This book takes the reader on a tour of the evolution of documentary film as an polemical, experimental and entertaining form. It gathers a wide-ranging collection of writings.

      In Imaging Reality: The Faber Book of Documentary, Oscar-winning documentary-maker Kevin Macdonald (One Day in September, Touching the Void) and leading broadcaster/historian Mark Cousins (The Story of Film) offer an expanded, revised edition of their ''definitive, inspirational'' (Independent) compendium on the roots and history of the documentary film.

      Imagining Reality takes the reader on a tour of the evolution of documentary film as an increasingly vibrant, polemical, experimental and entertaining form. It gathers a wide-ranging collection of writings by and about such groundbreaking documentary-makers as Vertov, Flaherty, Marcel Ophuls, Chris Marker, Kieslowski, Claude Lanzmann, and Nick Broomfield.

      The story is carried up to date by attention to the success documentaries have had among mainstream movie audiences in recent years, including Michael Moore''s Bowling For Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11, The Buena Vista Social Club, Spellbound, Capturing The Friedmans, Être Et Avoir, and The Fog Of War.
