A true love letter to documentaries.

Revisado: 08-11-22

In an era where documentaries matter more than ever to survive in an ever-changing world, Jon Wilkman covers the history of documentary filmmaking with incredible detail and stories of figures who laid the foundation for where we are now. Each chapter is hours long with a treasure trove of information and facts that act more like an inviting textbook. It's hard to put down when transitions are so well done and cliffhangers make you want more.

Bob Souer's narration can be somewhat dry, but he is clear and concise in spoken word. There's a lack of emotion in his voice, with only enough to enunciate important phrases or keywords. Still, a good job for such a comprehensive project.

Screening Reality is the benchmark for telling the true stories of documentaries, from the first films to virtual reality and everything in between. Any film history buff has to have read or heard this book.
