""The essays in this edited volume explore several intersecting terrains associated with the current renaissance of documentary filmmaking occurring globally. They highlight the significance of music and soundscapes in documentary film, showcase the testimonies and interpretations of filmmakers themselves about their art and craft, and focus on a range of issues relevant to current trends in Global South studies. This work is thus a much-needed and welcome addition to documentary film scholarship in the twenty-first century."" -- Frank Gunderson, Florida State University
